If your internet explorer home page now starts on some obscure search site or "god forbid" at some porno site your internet explorer has been HIJACKED!!!! If you reset this in internet options to :about blank and when you reboot it does the same thing your registry has been hacked. If you wish to lock your start page to "blank" let me know and I will give you a registry file to import to your registry. Hijacking of your start page is the latest tool used by unscrupulous domains to inflate the "hit" count for advertising revenue. Some of these sites lock your start page buttons in your options so that you cannot reset to blank or start page of your choicee and even if you could reset your start page the hacked registry will reset it back when you reboot your computyer anyway! The page you see is a load of absolute bollocks and any "script kiddie" could write a page that produces
a page that records the ip address of the machine that accesses the domain, in this case one that is trying to trick you into buying their crap software that you can in anycase get for free anywhere on the web, ie: do a warez search for Evidence Eliminator
Please download and use Adaware from www.lavasoft.de and Spybot S&D from [
www.safer-networking.org] also if you're still having dramas use HijackThis from [
www.tomcoyote.org] but be careful as HijackThis directly accesses your registry and it would be advisable to record a log and send it to me or to another security expert to determine the nature and extent of the registry hacks before deleting anything, all these anti-trojan and anti-spyware tools are freely available on the net. If you're really pissed of with all of the hassles and the endless popup ads and those wont go away porn windows give the crappy "way full of holes and far too easy to exploit internet explorer" the arse and use MOZILLA which loads web pages faster anyway! I would put money on HijackThis being able to show what scripts have been loaded to your registry!! You do not have a virus as such, a trojan from the advertising site has written to you registry and this sort of behaviour majorly sux imho. Of coursde had you been using a firewall and Mozilla it probably wouldn't have happened in the first place, let us know how you get on, this sort of thing interests me very much. Cheers Mortal
P.S. Paranoid???? you bet......the only way to be on the net, and are you using a firewall??? if not get ZoneAlarm NOW!!!
