Yo Computer peeps (Jnuts or others)...??

[pitbullstl]

Some strange shit is going on with my home PC. Anytime I try to go to Yahoo, EBAY, Google etc....it reroutes me to some weird search assistant..it will still say..Yahoo or EBAY in the address bar, but will not bring those pages up....in fact the only way I can get into my yahoo mail (which I seldom use) is my typing the mail.yahoo.com address...........????????


I cleared my cookies restored my computer....etc...etc.....what the hell is going on??? And how do I fix it????

Thanks in advance.....

That's a spyware you have installed on your pc. Usually by surfing porn websites ar some unsecure links. Maybe you get redirected to something like "mysearch" or "mywebsites" or something else. If that's the case, go to control panel, add/remove programs and uninstall anything related to "My*" Then get a spyware remover like Ad-Aware (shareware) and do a full scan. Of course you should have a good updated antivirus. I recommend Symantec Norton

What's the best spyware removal software???

 

[Mr. dB]

In my opinion, Ad-Aware trounces Spybot Search & Destroy.

 

[Devastation]

free ones include adaware and microsoft has a free one too. they're not the best but the price is right ( i know that don't matter to you lol)

Ad-Aware SE (second edition) Good antivirus like Norton are now detecting Spywares and Adwares on websites.

Thanks fellas......

Ad-Aware it is....

 

[Ish]

Spybot is good too, you might run both if Ad-aware doesn't get it. Also, it could the that stupid coolsearchweb one. What search assistant does it send you to?
