Twice in as many days, I have clicked on a ebay link from here in the general section-one for the fake airsoft Aimpoint and today for the link on the auction for the Japanese Samuri Armor....both times, after viewing the auction, when I return to my homepage, which is AT&T Worldnet, I get redirected to a Hong Kong porn site. Then my 'puter gets infected with a Trojan Worm virus.....it over-writes your Internet Options and changes your home page to the HK porn site and keep installing the virus.... I'm running the old Win '98 and I have etrust EZ Anti-Virus....it catches it, but then I have to delete my Temp Internet files and scan the system..... Has anyone else had that happen...? |

Here is the Japanese Armor link- www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=242733 I'm still looking for the other one.... |
Uh....ok... Here is the other one.... www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=242427 |

that crap burns me up, my pc got hyjacked in a similar manner, world finder was their choice of start page and web engine. it took Mcafee 3 mos to figure out how to correct it, I still have an auto dialer that I cant get rid of. minor irritation. A POX upon the house of spammers and virus, worm, trojan writers. I would like to see one of those basturds taken out and the street and shot in the head.. Like that German creep that it took the FBI to find Lebrew |
[tinfoil hat on]My suggestion if you dont already. Get a good antivirus prog, get spybot and imunize your comp, use a firewall or router (I use Zone Alarm the free version) and install window washer. between these your problems should disappear Youll be surprised how many tracking cookies will be found the first time you use spybot and the amount of unwanted cookies your system has after you run window washer. I set mine up to run manually and do it once a week.[tinfoil hat off] |
Yup. Your end. I suspect that it has nothing to do with the above referenced links. You probably already have some spyware, or hijackware on your machine already. Go to google, and search for "Adaware", and "Hijackthis". Run them. They should clean you up and you wont' have to worry about it anymore. Oh, and get some decent virus scanning software, and a software firewall. |

Well fuck a duck......I have a EZ Trust anti virus..and I downloaded all the suggestions....I really like that Zone Alarm Thanks for the help...  To all hackers, virus makers and general computer vandals- If I ever hear a person talking about having done or doing something like this, I will crush your hands, break your arms and poke your eyes out.... You people are no better than a person that eggs a car, smashes a mail box or paints graffti..you are scum |
