It's most likely spyware. So download MS Antispyware,Ad-aware ,Spybot S&D , And Hijack This.Do a scan With all of these. And post the results of the Hijack This scan on the forum. SwatKat will take care of the rest. 8)

MS will come to your rescue forever. You can find the antispyware in the latest DIGIT DVD or at www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Scan with it and all your problems'll be solved. Keep the security settings in the software tight so that you can stay away from such problems in the future.

MICROSOFT ANTI SPYWARE THE BEST !!

TRY MICROSOFT ANTI SPYWARE !!! ITS TEH BEST AND KEEP IT UPDATED AND KEEP THE OPTION JOIN ANTI SPYWARE COMMUNITY "YES" .
IT WILL HELP BIG TIME . ITS ON THE DIGIT DVD !!!!

 

[saROMan]

well i will suggest u use browser Hijack remover ....good tool for this perpose

 

[Charley]

use Webroot Spysweeper .The BEST.

I'd assume that it is only for trial period

 

[crashuniverse]

enough solutions...
i would like to add something towards precautions which can help u in future....which doesnt let u go down in future..

ms internet explorer has some loopholes which can be fixed with windows service pack 2 (avl wid digit cds a few months back) ....u can also use firefox browser which is much better in many aspects...gud lucks wid ur fight against pornos

 

[yehmeriidhain]

I think having porn is not a problem .. but getting it digged into ur web-browser is a bit tedious .... at times it might be tht U have to use ur system with ur frd's or the worst possible case ur family members ...

Well, there hasn't been ne more replies back from the author .. where r U lost ??

& yeah! dunt forget to post ur hijackthis log file here!

I can show you at least 5 reasons why SpubotSD is better than Ad-Aware, "Cydoor" is just one of them. I use Ad-Aware (Pro) +SSD and only SSD detects 3/4 such pests which are not detected by AA.

But this here is a simple case of BHO exploit. So I would suggest Hijack This! scanning and hands-on fixing based on what the log shows.

And MS AntiSpyware also sucks big time - it even says "My Web Search" toolbar is a safe component to install And it will not remain freeware for ever

 

[expertno.1]

use spybot search and destroy its free and best and included in digit cd and dvd every month

 

[sidewinder]

are yaar ssd nd aa se both r free man.Just try out both of them.also they r very small downloads so no worry for dial up user also.

Once it happened in my pc. It was due to a chm file, which is a help file format. It was located in c: (parent directory) if it is there remove it and it should work. In internet options in homepage field wat url is provided if u can post it here, it wud be more better to help.

 

[Charley]

Be careful next time while you click on pages which show this kind of stuff, they are really bogus and to add to your woes have lots of spyware and trojans in it.

 

[rohanbee]

Download MS anti-spyware & do a clean.
Then try spy sweeper as well. They did quite a good job for me....
Hope they will work for you too....
