Help please

[Dj M Jaxx]

my computer seems to have down loaded so bad virus or spy file, can anyone help

everytime i log onto Aol, and type in a website, it redirects me to this site called search everything!!!. i have tried spybot but it has not worked when fixing problems on the search and destroy

i have to get into the osa by using the osa search bar, i have tried using internet explorer to, but that also takes me to this dam search page again

can anyone give me any sort of tip on this at all?

Cheers in advance

Hi Jaxxy,

Have you got a virus checker installed on your 'puter?... if not, get one!. Make sure you keep it up to date (most of them have a facility where you automatically have it download the latest 'signature file' to keep your system protected).

Secondly, I would download a program called 'adaware', this will search and remove any traces of 'spyware' from your PC. Adaware can be downloaded from :

http://www.lavasoft.nu/

or a direct link....

http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10...age&tag=button

I've used Adaware successfully many times before, and I'd recommend it for removing spyware...

PM me for more info...

Right if the reply above doesnt help then get & run http://209.133.47.12/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe
If that dont help either get & run http://209.133.47.12/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe & post the log file it produces & I can tell you what to delete to remove it ok..

Ocuh m8 thats a sticky one, one yaz found the file a killed it I recomend geting a Firewall / Zone alarm and keep them upto date to stop it happening in the future, but it dose sound like ya have alredy been infected and another good tip is to avoid AOL (Arseholes On Line)

Also jaxxy change this

when u got ie open, click tools/internet options and reset your homepage to whatever it was on.

I found that if left even if u remove the thing because it is defaulting to that site, it re gives u the spyware.
