Web goes to unwanted site randomly
« on: November 14, 2004, 07:48:16 PM »
Very frustrating that my home PC goes to a web site (porn), without warning as I want to do a normal search. I have tried Spybot to get rid of it, and have reset the internet settings but to no win. Need some advice to get rid of it.

    Thanks for the advice. I took it but still didn't get rid of this particular porn web site that keeps coming up. I did however, get rid of alot of unwanted viruses usinging the downloads. Thanks again for your help but still not sure how to get rid of this thing

    Use a spyware scanner.

      I recently installed Mozilla,
      Felt the difference straight away: no popups, no active x controls installing and running itself on my computer.
