Once you have had spyware do you need to reset the favorites?

Question

I was unlucky enough to get spyware installed and have now got rid of it by running a few software options such as Adware and Melware. I have changed my password on everything but would like to know whether I have to delete all my favorites in Internet Explorer and readd in case they have been corrupted?

Answer 1

your favorites cannot store spyware unless the site itself has spyware encoded into it, just delete your temp folder, cookies, browser cache and history to make sure it is gone.

Answer 2

No but you might need to reset your home page and default search engine but thats all

Answer 3

yes as they may contain spyware

try kaspersky.com

Answer 4

If its cleaned correctly, no
