Serious problem, please, help me :(

[DomainEmpire.com]

It seems a virus - spyware (or no idea what else it may be) has been recently installed in our Pc and, every time we digit an Internet address (i.e. dnforum.com), we're forwarded immediately on a porn site ... We need to retry 2/3 times before reaching our wished address.

What's happening ? Any idea ? We've just installer Spyware Remover but the problem hasn't been fixed yet
Please, give us at least a couple of possible suggestions ...

Try http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

it's free

Thanks, I try immediately

 

[Jack Gordon]

if that didn't fix it have you tried spybot?

 

[Mr Webname]

Suggest also using Norton Internet Security 2003 with its Firewall and anti-virus to limit future problems.

Ok, I can try with Norton 2003 but, may I have problems in case I should decide to uninstall it immediately after ? Damaged files etc ...

No problems that I am aware of and it has saved me many times - I'm not suggesting that it will necessarily resolve the problem you have NOW but I am suggesting that it will help prevent such things in the future.
I would use Adaware to remove any stealth files that are on your pc now and install Norton when you have done that.

Try this, it sounds like a Trojan to me.Free to use for 14 days.http://www.anti-trojan.net/en/ I got this program on all 4 of my computers and I use it every week to make sure no Trojan gets in. It now has a new upgrade too, that works right in your tool bar too.

Free Firewall from Zone Alarm

Be careful when clicking on the popup message.

You have clicked on 'YES' to install this trojan.

Spybot - Search & Destroy work fine for me... use it whit a good firewall like zone alarme (free) and you will be bug s free.

Hi all again and thanks for helping

During these days, we tried:

Anti-Trojan (13 trojans deleted)
Adaware (53 suspicious files deleted)
Norton 2003 (2 files deleted)

But, when we digit any web address without its "www", we're redirected on a porn site by that damn mysterious virus ... Today we'll test other softwares and new methods to locate it

Check the proxy setting on your browser and make sure it is not set to something.

I've been unable to check proxy settings due to a new problem - many of the most common Internet options are no longer available, another mystery.
When I go on Tools - Internet Options, now I no longer have many of them including Advanced etc ...

I've just reinstalled again Internet Explorer 6 and, magic, problem fully fixed but this didn't work all other times I tried

Now I've no problem in digiting addresses without www. even if I no longer have my "Advanced options"
