Problem! Please help

senthilrek · 20-11-2004, 01:02 PM

I have a problem in browsing internet. That is some basic sites like yahoo, google, gmail etc., are not opening , automatically it goes to a search page menting the domain is available for sale. It happens in both IE and Opera. I thought software would have been installed and i found many search softwares installed unknowlingly. So i removed all of them but i still have the problem. i dont know what to do? Kindly adviceme

Try this go to the internet option in IE and set the home page to www.yahoo.com save it now check it again!!

I think your computer is infected with spywares and browser plug-ins. Download Spybot S&D to weed out all your problems...

The easiest solution? Dont use IE. Switch to Firefox or Opera today!

m8 he already said that he is using opera and geeting the same problem

it think you have spyware problem, use spybot or system mechanic

[deXter] · 21-11-2004, 01:22 AM

whoops! My mistake

---

senthilrek, please try CWShredder and see if that solves your problem.

Then check your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file. Open it in notepad. Ignoring the '#' lines, there should only be one like like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost. If there are additional lines, delete them and add this.

Now in both Opera and Ie, check your proxy server settings. Disable any proxy servers if used. In opera, Tools -> Quick Preferences-> Enable Proxy Servers (uncheck if checked).

If all that doesnt work, then you'll need to download Spybot Search and Destroy like everyone says. Install, update scan and destroy

Damn, i was about to tell him to check his host file and run cw shredder

ujjwal · 21-11-2004, 01:39 PM

Could be the hosts file

as DeXter says ... anyway on windows 98 the hosts file if present will be at C:\Windows and C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC for Win 2k ...

If nothing works post your HijackThis logfile - http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

I think your computer has a spy ware. Remove it using Ad-Aware. Mention the search site for further help.
