Stop looking at porn.

go to www.download.com and download Lavasoft, run it, and see if that helps.

Man, Im glad you started a post about this, I have the EXACT same problem right now!!! I just wiped my entire computer clean and reinstalled everything and within 3 days I got this friggin browser hijacker I have no idea how to get rid of.... I though spyware was bad, but this is ridiculous! ANY help on how to get rid of this hijacker would be appreciated! I didnt get mine from porn, I got it from phazeddl.com when I was DLing a pirated version of Nero... I really shouldve known better....

go to www.tomcoyote.com they will help you get rid of EVERYTHING. go to the forums and read around. what your gonna have to do is download a program off of fhat site called "hijack this" when you run this program be carefull not to fix or delete anything. All you need to do is post the results in the forums in the correct section. The people on that site will beable to analyse what your computer has with that report from that program and tell you what you need to do.
