    When I used the Find function on IE6 (Ctrl+F) I noticed something odd which wasn't there before:

    This is what it looks like, as you can see theres some weird names on the bottom 3 lines, I thought that might be a virus or spyware, but no nothing.

    So does anyone else have that? Isn't Alef Hamza some terrorist who rants about about nonsense somewhere in London? :worried:

    Help! (or is this part of SP2?)

    Not seen that before. Sounds like some sort of Spyware :confused:

    The guy you're on about is Abu Hamza, a radical cleric who is currently in jail because the US want to extradite him on terrorism charges.

    They're to do with Arabic language support - letters/accents in Arabic, I think. Probably something to do with SP2, did you decide to install support for loads of languages or something?

    :hehe:

    If i am right, it's options of arabic spelling. is it possible that you added some arabic to your system by mistake?

    IIRC:
    alef = A (the letter A).
    hamza = a special dotting above the alef.

    (don't ask how i know it :D )

    Why the hell would I want Arabic? I can't even speak the language, my keyboard doesn't even have the keys! And were there language options for SP2? I don't remember any options. Though I do find funny that this looks like 'Match the terrorists' any idea on how to remove this? According to my language packs, I don't have arabic installed.

    And no, I didnt download the inbuilt terrorist finder from the FBI!
