Sometimes when i search for sites,my browser takes me to a different site then the one i had clicked on,i had found and isolated a trojon.Could anyone advise me as to what to do about this?,thanks.
You can also run a scan with malwarebytes to see what it pick’s up, i would recomend though that once you solve this problem it would be wise to update your browser to ie8 as ie6 is very unsafe and not supported anymore.
Hi.thanks for the reply.I have run a Malwarebyte scan,that and the Avast both come up clean apart from the above message.I was surprised by the IE6 bit as i thought it had been updated to IE8 ages ago. ???
Make sure that MBAM is updated to the latest before running, program version 1.50.1.1100- data base version 5384.
If you click tool’s in internet explorer then click about internet explore that will tell you your version.
Thanks for the replies,yes,we do have microsoft works.i checked and ie did need changing,it couldnt have updated before.When i run the boot scan now,it doesnt show any problems but i am still having the problem that sometimes when i search for something or click on a site,i am taken to a completely different one.i have run full scans with Avast and Malwarebyte,both of which i have updated and they are both showing up clean. ???
To avoid using multiple post with copy and paste you have to attach the log`s
Lower left corner: Additional Options > Attach ( OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. and Malwarebytes scan log)
Essexboy usually arrives in the forum late UK time
Downloaded the newer OTL,done scan.Now,im probably going to sound stupid,but i cant figure out how to post the results as even one of the logs is too long to post ???
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.
Hi Essexboy,thanks for your responce and help,here are the results,the fix produced one log,the scan another,here they are,will have a few goes at searches this morning,then out untill tomorrow night.
So far so good,no directs! ;D.Hopefully that has done it,a few times it directed my wife to rather dodgy sites lol,luckily that didnt happen to my daughter.What caused it by the way?
