Ghostery has become a ghost on my machine

Edit Subject

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks for using Ghostery!

If you go in to your add or remove programs list from the control panel, do you not see Ghostery in that list? If you don't its no longer installed. You can go into your C:/Programs << see if you still have a Ghostery folder there.. if you do.. after you have verified that it is not in the programs list.. delete the folder and try a fresh install.. Remember.. you need to run IE 10 in 32 bit mode in order for Ghostery to work.

Let me know how that goes.

I never did find it in my add or remove programs list from the control panel. I did, however find the folder where it was installed under Program Files. I was running 32 bit IE10 and it was working just fine. I wanted to uninstall so that I could find out if the problem that I was having was related to ghostery. Apparently it is, because I have not had a problem again with a website giving me an error and then repeatedly opening the said website over and over again till I have 20+ and counting windows of IE open. I know that my computer is clean because I have run my antispyware and antivirus software and came up clean. But getting back to the uninstalling part, I don't know what happened before but I just deleted the folder under my Program Files folder and just used CCleaner to clean up the registry files left behind. Thanks for your reply. I am starting to miss Ghostery, though, but it was either uninstall Ghostery or have IE go nuts on me. I decided to opt out of the going nuts thing.

And yes, it was stilled installed even though it was not listed in my add or remove programs list from my control panel....Just saying..

SOLVED! Had the same problem! Downgraded to IE9 from 10 and Ghostery would not show up.
Seems like when you downgrade from IE10 to 9 it automatically reverts to the 64bit version of IE9.(Assuming you're running 64bit windows of course)
Run the 32bit version of IE9 and Ghostery works fine:)
