I installed Web Cracker 4.0 yesterday. Then after that everytime I go to a site on IE without putting the "www" in the front of the address it takes me to: http://www.privacy-defence.biz/warning.html
For example, I type "yahoo.com" it takes me to http://www.privacy-defence.biz/warning.html
I type in www.yahoo.com it takes me to yahoo.com
HELP!!
sounds like browser hijacking to me. have you tried uninstalling web cracker to see if the problem persists?
Yes. I un-installed that peice of shit software. I also tried a scan with Ad-aware, I'm downloading Spybot Search and destroy right now. Any ideas??
Its weird, unless I put the www's it takes me to http://www.privacy-defence.biz/warning.html
Any ideas???
see what spybot finds. it can usually find most browser hijackers. im not for sure that this is the problem, but it is very likely based on what you said. so just see if spybot finds anything related to that site or any browser hijacker.
SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY RULES! :) :beerchug:
Found the damn problem and fixed it!
Holy fuck... that is most paranoid propaganda spewing bullshit I've ever seen...
Because I want people to know. I can change that in a heartbeat.Quote:

Heh. What's the point they're trying to make again? It's fading fast...Quote:

Yes, it was blank on their page. I didn't edit it out. So, where am I from, huh?Quote:

Also blank. This is only a problem for people using IE, because it lets JavaScript copy whatever is in the clipboard.Quote:
* These words have been found in your system records:
Their little JS trick used to work on older browsers, but not anymore... Besides, they aren't showing you whats on your computer and that little trick doesn't give them access to your C: drive. When it used to work, all it did was cause your browser to show you your C: drive. That's it.Quote:

Click Here And You'll See For Yourself, just remove the http:// from the address bar
You are not safe. They know your nickname. They have your fake credit card details. They have your very unusual phone number: 999. And your Mobile No: 112. They can also see what you type: When phoning any of my numbers be sure to ask for Police and say that you are called Illea Galhacker.
The know your IP address. They know everything.
They are called your mum and your ISP!
Some crap like on that site appears when you go to PC Pitstop. A window pops up about some performance test. You click on more info, close the window, click next until a page appears and it says crap like people can see your HD using Javascript. You must disable it. Disable ActiveX etc.
