View Full Version : Default Home Page Problem


Help Me!!!!
January 29th 04, 04:21 AM
I keep getting a new default page and some weird pages on
my favorites every time I go on the internet. Even after
I delete them and apply a new default page they come
back. Does anyone know how to block these? I don't want
to go through a re-boot.

Thanks

First stop is http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Download spybot and run it.
If that doesn't work try cwshredder (can't remember sire so google search
for it).
You have been infected with mal/adware.

Also download and install Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com and run a full
system
scan and eliminate the spyware and trojans. Both Ad-Aware and Spybot are
free, BTW.
