I had a clean computer and system yesterday...now, I'm not so sure. I must have downloaded something off the internet that caused it. Until today, I have had no problem with my new computer. I have had it for a couple of months. The only thing VISIBLY wrong with it is that google won't even connect, and when it does and when i search for something, any of the links that google show me revert to bad sites, such as fake search engines or credit report sites. I have Antivir and it was detected 3 warnings, but supposedly there is no threat. When my internet was working, I tried to type in "bleepingcomputer.com" and the browser would not connect to the site, which is why I am on an alternate computer conducting this investigation. If you could, please help. -Concerned p.s. i leave for college on monday, so please respond asap! thanks so much! |

Hi all_for_dios,
 The only way to check it out is to download HijackThis and post the resulting scan on this forum. You'll have to be patient though, it's a very busy forum. m0le This post has been edited by m0le: Aug 15 2008, 08:58 PM --------------------  |
