Anyone Who Knows About Computers... Posted: 07-31-04 23:29pm
Ok, I have whats called a "homepage
hijacker"...I got my computer fixed a
couple weeks ago and the guy (when he
brought the computer back) said that he
got rid of it. Well...Couple days later
it was baaaack!! anyone know how to
get rid of it for more than a few days?
Or am I s.O.L? I know that what it does
is install a little program onto your
computer so that it keeps coming back..
But I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

I'm not sure if this will help u alot but
its free, go and search ad aware and
download it and then have it search your
computer and it will find everything that
virus finder cant find and when I ran it,
it quarantined everything that was messed
up and my comp is cool now. Hope it
helps.

I don't know what a hompage hijacker is
but I do know I have a hella lot of
spyware on my comp. I just scanned for
it yesterday with the free scanner but I
have to buy the full version to delete it
all.
