Porn on my PC

[Simran9]

you win 1 battle against your computer and another one comes up :wub: @

my home page has changed to some search engine that looks fishy. No matter how many times I change the settings to a different homepage it doesn't change. Always that same search engine again.

I even did the virus scans...found some trojan horse virus...restarted the PC...still that fishy looking search engine.

Whats more? In the favorites list theres bunch of porno websites listed as my favorites...

Now I don't what to do...? Tried all the above that I know but problem not fixed

help me....

Have you tried Ad-Aware Personal or Spybot Serach and Destroy??

You can download the programmes on www.download.com

[Mehtab Singh]

Yes there is a virus that does that. You gotta remove them from your favorites each time it happens. I always hated it but you have to keep cleaning up and removing this filth each time it comes.

Again, you must download one of the following programs, just click on the link and click either open or save.

Spybot Search and Destroy

Adaware

Seems like you got many spyware programmes on your computer. If you can't remove them with programmes like ad-aware, spybot etc. I think you should call microsoft, they have a security hotline and they'll able to help you.

Or you should formate your computer. Install service pack 2 and all the updates from www.windowsupdate.com, then install an anti-virus programme and a firewall and use firefox as your browser.

Scan your computer once a week for viruses and spyware and remember to update it on www.windowsupdate.com - and be aware of what you install. Alot of free programmes on the net have spyware, so you gotta be careful about what you download from the net..

Btw, I heard about a new spyware remover from microft. Anyone who have tried it??

;gwork i just woke up. What you have is whats called Browser hijacker. Seems to only happen to IE a lot. Reason is that your security settings on the browser are set to low so some websites can install programs on ur comp without u knowing which inturn start hijacking ur webbrowser.

Spybot and Adaware dont always work with a browser hicjacker. the most popular browser hijacker program is coolbar or someting like that. What does work for this is a program called "CWSShredder"

Try Spybot,Adaware and CWSShredder and see if you can get rid of the problem. Also empty your temporary internet files.
