596970 2007-10-02 01:22:00 Hi Guys
I have the problem that whenever I hit a link it jumps to a different site, usually a naughty one. It will show the correct address in the address bar for a few seconds and then jump to one of these other sites.
E.g google search pc world, results comes up, click on the link which has pc world, bit of a pause then it jumps to naughty site.
Any Ideas?

Seriously, though...

Download and install this (www.malwarebytes.org) this (www.simplysup.com) and this (www.safer-networking.org), update them and run them through. Post a hijackthis (www.trendsecure.com) log and we'll see whats in it.

596974 2007-10-02 02:13:00 IMO, don't try spyware doctor. It slows your PC down something chronic, and often has compatibility issues with other software. Other free apps (adaware, spybot, ccleaner) do a better job. wratterus (105)

None do a better job for cleaning/removal.
Then uninstall it when finished

Or just use FF on a pc, with correctly configured NOD32 Ver3 and Comodo Firewall and you will be fine.

596979 2007-10-02 10:38:00 um it is a PC just cos it has Linux on it don't mean its not a pc.

Ya mean just use FF on windows. which we do on the laptop. and too poor to pay for Nod32 even though it is not much. just use Avast, which is just as good i reckon.
