Jakis Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 My computer is messed up. I have no virus and I run adware all the time. But my computer is controlled by ads i think. My homepage gets automatically set to about:blank. I try to get my email but it directs me to a search page and now on this site on peoples posts it allows me to click the words and then directs me to a search page again. Anyway i can fix this or anyone know of any programs that could fix this. Thanks, Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezy Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 you have been hijackedyou'll need to download a program called 'hijack this' (and maybe a few more) to clear it up. try this g'luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 when you run adaware...run it in safemode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassedOutGuy Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I think we are in a bit of the same boat here... my roomate runs a sharing program called soulseek which i think may have originally caused the pop up program... but just since we got back from Coventry ive noticed that we can't click on any links from webpages... when i click a link that someone has put up on here it opens the next page but stays blank and doesnt move... any ideas?

Douglas Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Try booting in Safe Mode with Networking support. If you still can't get to a site to download the hijack program, reboot in safe mode (w/o networking support). You'll have to hit up your add/remove programs list (and registry entries if you're comfortable with that). Delete your cookies, temp files, and history from Internet Options. This sh!t is hard to get rid of without using some sort of tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
