site not the same mysteriously
« on: July 05, 2004, 06:18:35 PM »
 :-/ One of my favorite sites, which I will not mention out of modesty, has changed. I type site name in address bar and TGP Hot Porn comes up instead. I have used search engines and try to enter site from there and TGP Hot Porn comes up. I tried linking from another site and Hot Porn TGP comes up. Has my old favorite been taken over by TGP Hot Porn or what?  I am definately puzzled and confused. Can anyone possibly give me some clues? I will leave with a hint to the site, RMCT.com, maybe this will ring a bell to someone out there. Thanks!!!!!

    rebeleye....Has your main homepage been changed to the porn site.....If it has there is a very good chance you have the Dreaded browser hijacker. What operating system are you using and are you able to set your home page back to where it was.....
    Don't attempt to use system restore until you are certain that your pc isnt infected . What kind of anti virus are you running and do you have Ad-Aware and SpyBot installed ?
    Perhaps you would do better to continue the discussion in Viruses and spyware!
    let us know

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

     :-/dl65 and anyone reading,
    I am running windows 98 se and internet explorer 6.0. I have spybot, spywareblaster and ad-aware all installed. I ran all 3 when my problem started and a hijacker was detected and quarantined. My homepage has never changed from yahoo.com. I ran another scan with all 3, 10 minutes ago, and all that was detected was 2 tracking cookies which I removed. I also ran norton virus scan and nothing was detected.Thanks for your advice, keep it coming. Merlin, where are you?
