AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2003 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Doyo Report post Posted October 3, 2003 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.
