 It seems my spelling WAS wrong! The download I direted you to IS  spelled 
"AdvisOr. It also claims to disable content advisor as well as removing  
passwords so, on the surface, it seems this might work for you IF this is the  
program that's troubling you.
 
 I have to say that I have NOT used this program so I can't actually  
recommened or bash it. I just ran across it and thought it may be a possibility. 
 
 I am not a computer guru like so many on the PCSoft/PCBuild lists. I  just 
have been helped SO many times by them that I try to put in my 2 cents  
occasionally in hopes of giving back a little. I highly recommend making your  
replies to the list address as opposed to my address directly (Though I don't  
really mind it)
because you are more likely to get more and better responses from the  group!
 
 Good Luck,

I'm  looking for a way toremove my own -- mysterious -- botch.  For no good  
reason, I swallowed a description I ran across about something that apears  to 
be called Content Advisor.  It offered some sort lf protection that  seemed 
(on too darned little thought) to offer some sort of  guidance-cum-protection.

The result has been that, just about every  time I try to follow some link on 
the 'Net, I get a small panel that tells  me Content Advisor won't allow e to 
enter the page I'm requesting until  "someone" at my machine enters the 
password.

I did, BTW, declare a  password with reminder phrase/sentence.  Foolishly, 
it's very long --  14 characters.  Yup, it works, but just about every step I 
try  (including Googling) requires that I enter that thing about every step I  
take.  

And I can't get rid of it.  Can't even find  anything under the name "Content 
Advisior."  I've accepted so much  garbage that I can't find anything that 
even looks like a possibility.   Can anyone at PC-SOFT offer suggestions?

Ed,

     What operating system are you using? IF xp and  IF you know the date (or 
if in last week or month) you can use these options  in search to narrow down 
the possibilities. I would, if you haven't already,  check add/remove 
programs to see if it's there. It's likley under a different  name than "content 
adviser" so you might search anything you don't recognize  there.

      A google search turned up a password  removal download for MS internet 
explorer content adviser at Major  Geeks.

      Don't know if this is  what is bugging you but it might be worth 
looking at. Maybe others on the list  will have more info for you.
 
      Good Luck,
   -Phillip  Williams-
