Houston... I think we have a problem

[AlwaysPissedOff]

Okay, a few days ago, my homepage all of the sudden started going to some luckysearch.com page. Okay, that I could ha\ndle. I changed the page back and went to bed. Got up the next day and booted up the PC and it all of the sudden said that a file called 'info32.exe' was missing or components of it were.

 

THEN, everytime I went to a different webpage on I.E., a pop-up for luckysearch.com started coming up(even on friggin' AOL), driving me insane. I clean out all the cookies from my temp folder and it doesn't stop it and then my homepage set itself to luckysearch AGAIN. Getting more frustrated, I tried to delete all the files in my temp folder and I started getting illegal operations out the ass, plus, whenever I gte on this board, it moves slow as shit for some reason.

 

I'm damn near at wit's end, so can SOMEONE help a brotha out?

Try using the spyware remover in the pinned thread..that should help you out.

[Perfxion]

Have you done the virusscan, spybot scan combo? If you haven't do that, that might get rid of the problem.

[AlwaysPissedOff]

Well... I just tried to d/l a few of the spyware stuff and it says that QuickTime doesn't have the components and can't get them from the QT server...

[Guest Doyo]

quicktime is for playing video and music files, it shouldn't have anything to do with

downloading a program. try downloading spybot here

 

try using Mozilla instead of IE and turn on Mozilla's

popup blocking feature.

the luckysearch thing is the homepage hijack thing that some sites do (mostly porn sites though..)

[MrRant]

There is a link to HijackTHIS! in the Things You Need thread for getting rid of that type of thing.

Thanks a million, Rant. Hijack totally fixed all my problems.
