a while ago i got a spyware problem right... it started added porn and gambling and stuff to my favourites

i got rid of it, but the website it stuck as my homepage is STILL here and REFUSES to change


also eezy and Georgina had this problem, so why cant i change it

eezy45
to the others
dont visit mysearchnow otherwise you have the same problem

sauron
yeah exactly

when i change my homepage back to what it was....next time i click home it is mysearchnow again

aaaalso in the FAQ it says i need to delete something (some weird toolbar i never installed) they gave me for it to go away...but to delete it it says i need to change the homepage first

vicious cycle!

i had that problem a couple weeks ago, i dont know how my mom fixed it, but first see, we had some trojan thing, and then my mom got rid of it, and then we got spyware, then another type of spyware right after that, and then some toher type of trojan after that.
anyway, my mom found all these websites on how to get rid of it.
this might help:

i cant find the other sites she used to get rid of it, but she had to download these two programs called Ad-ware 6.0 and Spyware Blaster to keep from getting them again

Mr. Bacon
ad-ware is awesome dl that, it saved my ass many-a-times

nortan anti virus usely picks up most of the viruses, but it didnt pick up spayware the last time we got it

Mr. Bacon
norton is good too i have that

yerssot
it's not a virus that causes such problems though, it sounds like a spy-prog; just run ad-aware or spybot

oh and btw, this stuff belongs more in N&A

sauron
i apologise

§pearhead
I had gotten the annoying toolbar thing at the top, it's stubborn and doesn't like to go away erm
