Website forwarding Some how, when I search for a website on google, such as necc, it finds it, now when I click on it, it takes me to some random sites, including porn sites This wouldnt be too bad but my nephew uses the pc also Any suggestions on how to sort it please
Probably a HOSTS file hijack (this would send you to a different destination despite adding a certain web address) Download this: http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=3155&file=1&evp=3304750663b552982a8baee6434cfc13 Run a scan but don't take any action - just copy and paste the log into here. Also download these and run scans which will find/remove bugs: http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10401314.html http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10639408.html If you are running legit windows, download windows defender: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx This will actually lock things like your hosts file and alert you to anything trying to change....which of course you can then deny. Also if you don't have a personal firewall, download zone alarm: http://dl2.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001_cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_70_302_000_en.exe Come back with the results.
