Answer 2

Your PC is infected with a browser hijacker. Use these scans to remove it.

All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Answer 3

You have hijacker spyware and/or a bad trojan virus.


There are many programs that say they will stop viruses and spyware, but they are lying. You need to get two things. 1) Spybot Search and Destroy and 2) AVG Free Antivirus. ALSO, run Housecall from trendmicro.

NOTE: Get updates first, THEN disconnect from the Web when you run these programs, then restart, do NOT CONNECT to the Web yet, and run them again. Don't turn off SpyBot when you turn off the system. When at trendmicro, select "Scan Now It's Free"

Answer 4

You have got spywares/adwares on your computer. Anyways, one simpler way can be using Ad-Aware. Download the software, update the definitions, “Perform full system scan”. In my opinion, it is really a good software for such problems. Use Mozilla Firefox 2.0 (it’s better than ever version of Firefox) for browsing. Internet Explorer can be useful when you encounter any problem in Firefox, because Firefox does not support .asp pages, but IE shall only be used for quality sites, about which, one knows, will not contain any spam/adware type of stuff.
You shall always use some anti-virus software (if, you are not using), I like avast! antivirus.

Answer 5

You have spyware on your computer. You need to update your computer because that is an old trick. Get nortons security and run a scan. Also search for Spybot and download it. It's a free tool to use to remove spyware.

Answer 6

You have a browser hijack, try running Spybot in Safe Mode to clear it; when you've cleared it then install the following software to prevent the same thing happening again.

efore attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for personal use;

You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.
http://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall OR
http://www.comodogroup.com/ - Comodo security suite.

You need to install one anti virus;
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ -AVG anti virus or
http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus

You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.

And these are useful utilities;
http://www.mozilla.com/ - Firefox web browser.

Winpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.

Remember to update and run all of you anti malware programs at least once a week.

This happened to a friend of mine the other day. Being even less pc savvy than me he's still trying to sort it out. DON'T use Norton, it's useless and is what let the hijacker into my friends pc in the first place.
