Title: a quick question..
Post by: aQtheR on May 28, 2004, 12:15:51 AM

eloz all,
I've had some prob with my modem driver coz there was no dial sound.. after re-installing the driver its working fine now. But the problem is the internet pages are connecting.. every site i try to visit, it says "page cannot be displayed" and there are loadsaa spywares as well.. coz my "home page" is set to "about:blank" but still it connects to some advertising website.
So does these spywares cause problems in visiting other webites?? or is it something wrong with my modem again? will it be solved if i try installing other browsers like opera?
thank you.

aQtheR.....Sounds like you may have a hijacker.......
try downloading Ad-Aware.......
http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button
It has a hijacker detector and remover in it .....and be sure to get the latest updates after you D/L it and then scan your p/c......is it safe to assume that you have a working and current anti-virus.....
let us know how you make out ...
