Answer 2

hi, win32.myzor.fk is a disgusting and infamous virus. perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.

i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.

besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

Answer 3

in case you have cyber web Explorer 7, than you're able to bypass to the cyber web website you like as your place website, and study into the actual suited component of the show screen. There, on the toolbar you will see slightly blue residing house. click on the arrow next to the residing house and click "upload or replace residing house website." it provides you with a selection of what you prefer to do with it. stable success!

How To Clear a Hijack
http://www.pestpatrol.com/Support/HowTo/Ho...ar_a_Hijack.asp

This article is about browser hijack removal and prevention.
Here is an excerpt of the article:

QUOTE
A Hijacker is any software that resets your browser's settings to point to other sites. Hijacks may reroute your info and address requests through an unseen site, capturing that info. In such hijacks, your browser may behave normally, but be slower. Search Hijackers change your search settings. Homepage Hijackers will change your home page to some other site. Error Hijackers will display a new error page when a requested URL is not found. Hijacking has become very common, as these examples illustrate. This document explains how to clear such hijacks of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) manually and how to prevent it by disabling scripting.

This article is a long technical read but don't let that discourage you from reading it. Perform some of the recommendations made by the author. They will only help you to pro-actively block this problem from getting a foothold of your IE.


Removing Browser Hijacks

Believe it or not, a simple typo when entering the address of a well-known and reputable internet site could lead to all sorts of PC problems. Owners of websites whose URLs are almost the same as their more famous counterparts, except for some misplaced characters have learned to capitalize or make a profit out of our mistakes. Once you visit such a site you could be infected with a browser hijack among others.

Internet browser hijacks are definitely no fun & and these pests are hard to get rid of. Some of these malicious sites redirect you to a harder-to-trace foreign site. Some of them use JavaScript or a trojan horse to insert a new command into your Registry which runs at every boot and that command could be to change your homepage to some porno or search site that you do not like or install a dialer program capable of using your phone modem to dial an international pay-per-call number without you knowing it. This gets repeated each bootup.

What can you do?
I suppose my first suggestion to you should be to learn how to type and to be careful when you are typing website addresses on your internet browsers.
You could turn off your browser's scripting and that will stop these hijackings. However, that will also stop legit JavaScripts. Is there a happy medium, one that will block malicious JavaScripts and allow all good JavaScripts to pass through?

Start Page Guard (SPG)
http://www.pjwalczak.com/spguard/index.php
Current Version: 2.5
Freeware
Platform supported: Win 9x, Me, NT 4.0, 2K
NOTE to XP USERS:
Reportedly works fine under XP, but the author has no way to verify it.

This claims to block malicious intrusions while letting harmless scripts through. It protects your PC from cyberscam, by detecting and preventing any unauthorized changes to your internet browser's Start and Search pages. It is also capable of removing automatically most of known "invaders". Malicious programs (viruses, trojans, backdoors, etc.) sometime change the victim's homepage to invade the user's privacy, with the ultimate goal of collecting information about the user and his online activities. In some cases this activity may be totally transparent to the user. If something alters your homepage setting without your permission and doesn't let you change it back, this product will change it back for you.
Download link
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/spg/spgsetup.exe
Author's homepage
http://pjwalczak.com/index.php

Access your IE's Tools>Internet Options>General tab>under Home page reset your home and search pages back to what they were before.
Click Start>Run>type msconfig>hit Enter.
Click the Startup tab. In the displayed list, look for a command with either the word regedit or .reg in it (ex: C:\Windows\regedit.exe/s C\Windows\System\radB9819.tmp). When you find it, uncheck it, then click OK.
That's probably all you need to do, but to be safe, it wouldn't hurt to delete the file mentioned in that line. DON'T delete regedit.exe--you need that--but delete the other file referenced there (in our example, that file would be radB9819.tmp). And it wouldn't hurt to edit the Registry, searching for and removing all references to the offending site (in our example, that would be http://mycpworld.com . To do that, click Start>Run>type regedit>hit Enter>highlight My Computer>Edit>Find>enter the offending site address and delete every hit regedit finds, then click Find Next until you go through the whole registry. It wouldn't hurt to do the search again. Sometimes regedit misses some items the first time you run it.

Additionally, using HJT (HijackThis) can remove browser hijack. A good article to turn to on how to go about using HJT in removing browser hijacks is:
Browser Hijacking
http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/hijacked/

To add to your layer of protection against this online problem, use one or two popup blocker(s) and a good pre-made HOSTs file. Refer to our Anti-Malware thread found in the Reference Articles Forum for good sources of pre-made HOSTs files.

If using non-IE internet browsers is not an option, read this article which covers how to safely configure IE to prevent browser hijacking:

Also install the following and run them in SAFE MODE only (update them first before you use them):

Also install Kill2Me:

Kill2Me
Current version: 1.11
Freeware
Platform supported: All Windows
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

A removal tool specifically for the Look2Me (L2M) varieties of adware parasite. This tool removes versions 115, 116, 117 118, 120, 121 and 122 (the most recent ones) on all Windows versions. Kill2Me comes as an EXE file that require no installation, although it needs some Visual Basic 6 libraries which should already be present in all modern Windows machines. Running Kill2Me is extremely straightforward and will not be covered in detail here; just make sure you're running its latest version, since it is constantly updated, & make sure that all of your Windows Explorer & IE windows are closed when you run it, or else it may not be able to fix everything that needs fixing.

Look2me can be difficult to remove, but they do offer their own removal tool located here.
