unwanted website

[Guest Els]

I have been working on a friends computer. Everytime I go to the internet -

it goes directly to the desired webpage but then another undesireable website

pops up - how do I get rid of it - it doen't appear to be a pop-up since I

have blocked all pop-ups -thank you

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log

to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review

by an expert in such matters, not here.**

 

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

What website is it that pops up?

Ignore posts made by the person called Leythos, he is a stalker who's been

obsessed with me for years ever since I spurned his advances towards me.

If the web site is nasty, semi-nasty, or potentially nasty, the computer's

infected with malware.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting

directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to

pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST

Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access

to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

 

And do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their

posting identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?
