Every time I click on internet explorer, porn pops up as my homepage. I have scanned with numerous spy-ware and virus scanners... even Norton. The quickrestore disk doesn't work because it says that my computer isn't what it is. Every couple minutes, porn pops up too :/. I've tried everything on the spyware post from MGB. I think the virus is in my archived files or something. Can someone PLEASE help me!

Go to microsoft and download there anti spyware beta program... it will get rid of the spyware and help you reset the homepage and everything else for you and it will automaticly change it back if something tries to change it again.

Why are you complaining about free porn? Most people have to pay to get it.

Cypher - That's the last thing you wanna do. Especially if you know you can possibly fix it. Silly Cypher!

Nah! I format all the time because I'd rather have a clean operating system then a patch-work-fix-cleanup. :/

I've never formatted this computer's OS partition, I won't, and I won't ever need to.

Newbies!

I reinstalled Gentoo once though, didn't know how to chroot back in to reconfigure Grub after compiling a new kernel outside my installed environment.

Dr Brain · Posted: Sat May 21, 2005 12:00 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

If you're using grub, you don't even need to chroot if you get the config wrong. You can ask it for a prompt at boot and then tell it where to load the kernel image from.

"Newbies!"

I tried that, but without knowing the name of the new image file that's not going to help anyone.
Also I didn't say I wasn't a newbie at Grub back then.

I think I asked for help in a Gentoo channel to fix that since my first problems were with fstab.

It doesn't matter though, without knowing how to chroot back in I was forced once to reinstall, whatever the problem was (I'm sure it's the fstab heh).
Yes, I could've asked someone on forums or IRC channels, but I learned it the hard way.

Gah, time to pull out the free tools.

For spyware: Ad-Aware

For Virus: AVG

Then use CCleaner to clean up the mess left behind behind those two applications. I also recommend that you don't use Internet Explorer (use Opera, or Firefox), nor download things off of p2p networks such as Kazaa, Bearshare, etc -- unless you know its what you want.

Bearshare 4 LIFE!

I use bearshare.. It's pissing me off right now. but yes, bearshare 4 LIFE!

Solo Ace · Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 11:22 am *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Yeah, or until it gets cut.

newb · Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 2:45 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Well... only Napster has really been shutdown...

Maverick · Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 3:07 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

I think soon same will happen with Kazaa.
However the load of crap that comes with it probably makes enough money to pay the lawsuit ...
