Final Manual Step to Uninstalling

The final step is to stop your browser from trying to forward queries to Browser Spinach, which has been removed from the system. The sequence of steps required to accomplish this is different for each browser. Below are the steps to configure your browser to run without Browser Spinach:

Netscape Navigator 4.x

  • From the
  • Edit pulldown menu, select Preferences.
  • On the left of the dialog box is a column of categories. Toward the bottom of this column is the Advanced category. Click on the Advanced category in order to make it the current category.
  • Expand the Advanced category by hitting the right-arrow key. Alternatively, click on the tiny plus-sign to the left of the Advanced category label. Subcategories like Cache and Proxies should now be displayed below the Advanced category label.
  • Click on the Proxies category in order to make it the current category.
  • Click on the Direct connection to the Internet radio button.

  • From the View pulldown menu, select Internet Options.
  • Go to the Connection tab.
  • In the Proxy Server group of options, uncheck the Access the Internet using a proxy server check box.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x

  • From the Tools pulldown menu, select Internet Options.
  • Go to the Connections tab.
  • If you use DSL or your computer is on a local area network (LAN), then click on the LAN Settings button. Otherwise, in the Dial-up Settings group of options, select the connection through which you wish to determine whether Browser Spinach will be used. (If you are among the many users who only have one connection defined, then this connection will already be selected, so you don't need to do anything more for this step. If you have more than one connection and you want these settings to apply to them all, then you have to repeat the following steps for each of the connections.)
  • In the Dial-up Settings group of options, click the Settings button.
  • In the Proxy Server group of options, uncheck the Use a proxy server check box.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x

  • From the View pulldown menu, select Options.
  • Go to the Connection tab.
  • In the Proxy Server group of options, uncheck the Connect through a proxy server check box.
