i don't know if it's a virus or a worm, since it got to my laptop, everytime i open an explrer it automatically goes to "quicknews.info" even though i have set yahoo.com as my home page. when i'm using yahoo messenger, the people that i'm chatting with constantly receives an invite to visit quicknews.info for pictures and images, i think they are viruses. i have ran anti-virus and anti-spyware, the report always involve a malware so i always do what is recommended, to clean and to quarantine it. the next time i run anti-virus and anti-spyware, the "proble" seems to not exist anymore, but when i open the explorer, it's the same thing. quicknews.info still exists. the worst thing about it is when chatting, i'm afraid that i could affect other users. please can you help me???? i'm using now my desktop pc, do i need to reformat my laptop? i am using avg anti-spyware and anti-virus (the free ones, hehehe). help, help, help!!!
