Cobbo Posted 4 November 2004 Share Posted 4 November 2004 Search on google for AVG Anti Virus download. Or something like that. AVG is a very good anti virus program, got rid of some viruses that Nortan couldn't remove on my PC. Try to get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Daniel Posted 4 November 2004 Share Posted 4 November 2004 AVG is very good, but will not remove this homepage. I had to format my c:drive to get rid of that mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew Posted 4 November 2004 Share Posted 4 November 2004 Sounds like a homepage hijacker. Try cwshredder, if not find out the name of the page and do a search on google, plenty of removal tools on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Fan Posted 4 November 2004 Share Posted 4 November 2004 Definately AVG for virus checker. But I found that if something intercepts the browser, its usually spyware, so download Spybot and run it - it should delete it. If not, try a different browser - Mozilla Firefox is pretty good!

Scow Posted 4 November 2004 Share Posted 4 November 2004 Mozilla Firefox is the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 4 November 2004 Share Posted 4 November 2004 Mozilla Firefox is the way forward. 33461[/snapback] Tried Mozilla before and it is good. Had a look at Firefox and I would give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMR Posted 5 November 2004 Share Posted 5 November 2004 If your still having problems, download Hijack This and post the log here and I'll sort it for you. You are better off with FireFox , it wont get hijacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
