Free Republic Scammed Me and Zotted my (Vanity)

Yesterday, I was on FreeRepublic and read an article. There was a prompt that said I could download something that would help the GOP if I did. It is somehow affiliated with Yahoo.
Well, long story short, it is garbage. It takes me a few minutes to get on the internet. When I hit my homepage (msn), my screen goes white and at least 2 or 3 minutes later, I get the internet. I tried to call FreeRepublic to report and could not find a phone number in Fresno. Somebody tell me how to get this crap off.

Checked 'em both. Somehow I doubt their effect is "my screen goes white and at least 2 or 3 minutes later, I get the internet."
I think the poster has another problem.

All right. I haven’t spewed beer for a long time. That did it.

Turn your computer upside down and shake vigorously. The offending software will fall out on the floor, where you can stomp on it with you foot.

I thought the format had been changed to all vanities. Check my new tagline, courtesy of our friend Petronski.

The same thing happens to me when I run Yahoo! Instant Messenger, so I make sure it doesn’t run when Windows starts. It should be possible to go to “View” in the pull-down menus and remove the checkmark from the toolbar in question. If that doesn’t work, there’s also System Restore.
