Everytime i try to go to windows update it takes to google main page,
also when i try to connect to other sites goes to other weird sites.
Its a fresh copy of windows just set it up, reloaded because was doing
same thing earlier today. Deleted partition before reloading.

Do you get the same result when entering http://update.microsoft.com in Internet Explorer as when clicking Start --> All Programs --> Windows Update ?

well it definately looks like a malware .. just format and install fresh copy of windows

Very simple but he already formatted and that's not the problem ? I'm curious too if Grumpy got it fixed tho .

Very frustrating eh ? The experts can't finger it out , what chance do we have ? Stay the course and keep us up to date .

I found it here :

http://www.windowsbbs.com/malware-vi...uncements.html

Some interesting security topics . like a new program to scan running processes called DDS , its like Hyjackthis

Looks like a useful forum actually. Bookmarked.

Yeah, this seems to be a very unusual case here. Out of interest and the fact that I fix computers and have never heard of this I am also interested in the updates on this.

Ya bumrocks , its useful for when you try and fix your porn lovin friends computers .


New install but butt head buddie gets trojan from some porn site , ask why and he tells me it asks for a codec to view said porn movie . I explain that I installed every codec know to man so he could surf said sites . He said not the movie he wanted ......

[bumrocks]

Yeah, if it isn't my porn lovin friends it is their grade school kids...

At least your friend is honest, too! Most of the time mine play dumb. Particularly the one who I found that obviously liked tranny porn...Regularly cleaning his laptops or formatting them! True story!

Well, waiting for an update on this guy. Would like to see it resolved so we can know where the culprit is! Will check back later!

Ok over the weekend we connected 2 of my computers to my son in laws internet service and guess what both computer worked spot on. Next we took out his modem and connected mine in place of his, he is running Vista and it would not even look like starting or doing anything wouldnt even reconized the modem at all. After it tried loading up popped a message saying malware error and wouldnt doing anything more. We retried again same error, next we updated the firmware and retried to log to the internet, and fired up and connected in seconds. That proves netcomm nb6 modems can be infected with malware.
