Run adaware and spybot, then change your homepage back to what it was.;)

thanks but ive already done thoes steps, they can find no shih, anyway ive restore my one day old ghost Image :lol:

Update virus protection and do a full system scan.

If that doesnt work, run hijackthis!

Tis funny cause I never get that problem , just my anti -spy ware popping up and complaining that there's a change and deal with it . So curious what your running Bawa .

System restore or reinstall.

check your hosts file also and delete any entries other than 127.0.0.1


located here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc Open in notepad. Should look like this:

127.0.0.1      localhost

Nod32 and Sygate, i never had problem when i was using MSAntiSpyware, shame it got included in WGA and i dont like going throu all work arounds to disable it.

If they can change your homepage you ain't protected. This never happens to me and i click lots of shit.

well i dont want to use all thoes resource killer apps like Symantec, i used to have them, they slow down my pc alot.
in other hand i never goto to malware sites, once in a while mybe.
