ok so the IE browser on my decent computer has been hijacked by what seems like
www.ads234.com
whenever i try to browse anything, nothing comes up, as the ads234 address is in the beginning, and then their is a whole load of gobbledegook with my intentional email adress in the middle
i.e www.ads234.com *loads of *www.tranceaddict.com*loads of *
the last time this happened, i managed to remove a program from the control panel, as it was listed there.
I tried to do it this time, but their was nothing there, apart form what seemed like a recurring probelm from the last time this happened.
Also ran Ad-Aware and Spybot, and picked up a load of , but none of the stuff i've just gotten rid of has gotten rid of this!!
anything else i can do? |

| Download Spy Sweeper, you can get a 30 days demo somewhere. It finds some things than ad-aware + spybot don't notice. Other than that stop using IE, or at least install SpywareBlaster, it won't clean your computer but prevents the installation of lots of spyware |
