Question

is this some kind of virus?

Answer 1

Run your antivirus program and it will kill the virus when found with the scanner. If you don't have one installed here is a free excellent antivirus program.

Here is an excellent from antivirus program from AOL, Active Virus Shield powred by Kaspersky Lab of Russia. Rated # 1 in the world for virus detection. You will get auto updates every hour on the hour, plus an excellent background scanner that really works great. AOL, will only ask you for your email so they can send you a free key good for one year. After one year just request a new key.

Yup, a browser hijacker. Thry the following. If it doesn't help, you can join a free tech group that can walk you through manual corrective measures (list of groups at the bottom)

Firstly update and run your anti-virus product. You can also run a free online scan as well as some malware can actually corrupt or disable your resident security products. Here are a few online scans you can run:
Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm
Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

Second download, update and run scans using the following products:
SuperAntispyware
http://superantispyware.com/
Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating)
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
AVG AntiSpyware
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php

(These programs can be run in Safe Mode after downloading and updating)

Third, after cleaning your system, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore when you log back on. This will clear the malware that may still be lurking in System Restore, which could be reinstalled should you need to rollback at some point. Additionally, a reboot may be required to complete the malware removal process.

Lastly, you may also want to install the following tool. It is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources.
SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)

Answer 3

Its an adware/spyware intrusion.

Download adaware, its free and works pretty well but really its worth checking for updates and running it every day! sometimes i run it more than once a day.

Follow the link below and click on the green option on the right hand side of the screen, 3rd option down - Free download Ad-aware SE Personal

Answer 4

You've got a virus. Most likely a Hijacker. Download a good virus checker like AdAware or AVG, boot into safe mode (f8 when the PC restarts) and run them in full scan mode. If you know someone who knows PCs use Hyjack-this.

Answer 5

Not necessarily a virus could be some kind of malware / spyware/ adware. Run an antivirus /spyware scan it should tell you.
