blike Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 So I must have some spyware or something that hijacks my google and yahoo searches and returns results to a bunch of spam crap. Anyone heard of this? Can anyone do a quick search on the internet for a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ - AdAware will remove the vast majority of spyware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Browser hijack!!!! For god's sake people, junk IE before it destroys the world: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3840101.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'm glad I converted to firefox before it was too late... Go adaware! I think it's definitely better then Spybot S&D, since it does a full scan instead of just a few folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 If you insist on using IE, then get a piece of software called SpywareGuard - it protects against a lot of hijacks and it's free - always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blike Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 What's the difference between Mozilla and firefox? I saw them both on the website, but I went with firefox.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Firefox is newer, and improveder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I think the only difference is that Firefox is a standalone web browser. Mozilla integrates Navigator, Mail, Address Books, Chatzilla, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Firefox is also modified a bunch, I think. Newer and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
