Wife's Install

Recently I reinstalled Win XP Pro and installed SP3 and then all the
critical updates plus WMP 11. Her antivirus is NOD32 business.

The HDD is 250 gb split into four partitions, with the OS on C drive and
programs (very few) installed on D drive. She has 512 mb memory which her
purpose is plenty. The machine is only used for reading email and playing
on line games.

This install has been a pain since day one. First time I installed I only
used SP2 and got all the updates. When I did that I could not get rid of
the login screen no matter what I did. That is when I put back an Acronis
image of the initial install and installed SP3 with all the critical update.
At that point everything looked great.

Here is what I have run into now. She plays games on king.com and right now
when she trys to log in there, as soon as she click into the "username" box
she is redirected to another site. We have seen this happen at no other
site, she can log into web email and several other sites that she visits.
To say the least she is irate because I can not fix this.

I suspect it has something to do with SP3 but I can not be positive. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Games or simply managing e-mail,512mb is about the extreme low-end
requirments for xp...Double that & begin to enjoy the pc..As for youre
problem(s),
After SP2 or 3,one should run a CHKDSK C: /F before xp restarts,also,SP3
doesnt contain IE updates,xp by default is v6.0 Try windows update,plus
open internet options,edit the tabs &/or set to default settings.

My PC has 512mb of RAM and works reasonably well.

But then, I don't play games. Games - even quite small ones - by today's standards -
can just eat up RAM like it's going out of fashion!

I seriously doubt that SP3 or any other internal error on your PC is causing this
re-direction - but would investigate the website you are visiting thoroughly - as a
massive amount of legitimate websites have their bogus imitators just waiting to
pounce with malicious code...

As a precaution, after visiting or downloading anything from these re-directed
websites, run a (full) scan with MalwareBytes anti-malware. If you think that
ANYTHING is not as it was, you should run this software...

This is also consistent with a "bogus" website.

Always double check the URL (web address - either the link you click on or typing it
into the address bar is more secure) before you try to log in to your site.

If you start getting re-directed again even after double-checking the URL - it could
still be a problem that [king.com] is having with an attacker on it's site.

It's still vey unlikely to be the fault of your PC.

However, after getting re-directed to an unknown and unfamiliar site - it only takes
a few moments to get infected.

she trys to log in there, as soon as she click into the "username" box she is
redirected to another site. We have seen this happen at no other site, she can
log into web email and several other sites that she visits. To say the least she
is irate because I can not fix this.

I suspect it has something to do with SP3 but I can not be positive. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
