I am getting VERY VERY PO'ed

[Automaggin2]

So last night somehow I managed to get a few trojans on my computer....how? I have no idea. I have tried everything to get rid of them, Norton reconizes them but cant delete them. One of them shows up on adaware, but adaware cant delete it. Everytime i try starting up IE i get this weird *** webpage as my default homepage. I click internet settings to change it and it says the default homepage is about:blank, which it is not. So i change it to my default, google.com. Well what do you know! 2 minutes later its back to that say about:blank as my default:homepage. Not only has this happened, but somehow my AIM has gotten total screwed up. I reinstalled it, and still everytime I try to IM someone it crashes. I am about to THROW MY COMPUTER OFF MY BALCONY


I tried system retstore, of course it doesnt work........does it ever?

Ok I read your first sentence and i believe i''ve solved your problem. Next time get out of the bed and make sure ur Trojans land in the trashcan and not on ur computer..

delete all your temp internet files. and clear all that good stuff.

Did it

[digitard]

Run Norton/Adaware from safe mode?

Normally thats your best bet cause if they install themselves into something that makes them active upon startup you cant delete active files.

BOot into safe mode and try again.

OK, I am going to try safe mode. I dont know why I didnt think of that in the first place

What did Norton say which trojan it was? Search for a program called HijackThis, download it and run it. Send me what it found.

Your homepage has been hijacked....

First,

Visit http://www.adwareaway.com/ and download Adaware Away.... There should be a trial version....

This program will remove it...

Good luck,
David

About:blank is a nasty bit of spyware that has it's way with your internet explorer homepage. I have a pretty lengthy instruction as to how to remove it I could try to dig up for you... but I could do you an even bigger favor and say to scrap IE, and go to www.mozilla.com and download firefox.

i too have that annoying about:blank thing on my other computer. my dad has all kinds of anti spyware and anti-whoknowswhat on it, and we cant get it to go away either.
the computer used to be fast, but now its really slow from everything on it to get rid of it.
and, for some reason, when i try to go to ebay, it hijacks the webpage and lots of annoying spyware pop ups pop up.

I find that the microsoft beta spyware thing is AWESOME
