I don't know what kind Trojen I got but I can't type in any urls into the address box...When I do it brings me to this www.seach.cc it's some kind of search page. And I can't reset my homepage at all when I do it resets it that searchpage.
The only websites I can go to with out any problem is websites on my fav's list.
My anti virus isn't picking up anything and I did a spybot check and It didn't find anything either.
Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to get rid of this? :unsure:
I'm downloading addware right now but I don't know if it's gonna work.
I can go to webpages that come up in search that i do from the top of the browser...other then that when I type in a url of a website it redirects me to that search page.
try another virus scan and do you have adaware 6.0? run that see if it picks it up,
http://housecall.trendmicro.com
free online virus scanner, is always up to date.
Be sure to check for updates on Ad-Aware.
MBaraso, I had the same thing and it was a bitch to get rid of...
If i remember right i had to run ad-aware and spysweeper, i can't
remember which one worked, but one of them couldn't remove it...
Also had to do a complete restore on the PC because it seriously
screwed some **** up...
Yeah I think i'm gonna have to do a complete restore. I don't wanna do that but it looks like that's the only thing that's gonna help.Quote:

Anyone else have any ideas?
I have a 'Trojan Downloader' as well...
I have found it....but wont let me delete it...because it's 'being used'...
How do you do a full restore?
If you haven't did the restore yet give the Cleaner a shot...
Here's a link to a free trial... Pretty good program for trojans

those things are so annoying. had the same things happen. try re-installing windows thats what i did. its a b itch but it worked
I got rid of it with spysweeper... just keep it up to date... although like many others stated, I feel reformatting your pc is always a good idea... It's nice to have a fresh install every once in awhile.
Did you get ride of it..?? I just got a spybot sweeper from work that is like 100 times better than addaware..I could maybe get it too you..
Its call SpySweeper.
Iam doing a Scan now, and its estimated time is 44 minutes..
I dowloaded it but it failed to pick up the trojan :(Quote:

try one of these 2 links:
http://toolbar.isearch.com/uninstall/
http://www.mac-net.com/533088.page
hopefully one of those should work, when u get it removed i would install Zone alarm pro.
Did you get it?
The computer store that fixed my pc (rid me of my virus) said that norton wasnt very good. They recommended McAffe. Had another bud that had norton and got hit hard also. Just my $ .02
wow............ i've got 64 banks that we run Norton in........Quote:
