this is happening for both my internet browser firefox and IE7 for some reason when i google a normal website bbc sport sky sport or even PA google give me a list of website, no problem at all. The problem is that when i click on the link it doesnt direct me to the website infact it opens a new tab with some random website anyone know the problem, i tried restarting my pc, still havent solve the problem thanks for reading hope you help me out well as for now no more gooogling for me :(
yeah happens to all seach engines and for example if you give me a website link or www.bbc.co.uk when i click on that i would be redirected somewhere else Atm im using my laptop to google the problem and ofc many people had this, couldnt really find the possible soloution some ppl using hijackthis and it worked, some used 2372632 different anti spyware/anti virus and managed to get rid of it some use adaware 2007 and got rid it lol
is your default home page anything different from what you have been using before? based on the symptoms it sounds like you have some type of spyware hijacking your system and redirecting your links. try running hijack this and see if you get anything awkward also try to run the trendmicro online antivirus. It works pretty well
the homepage is the default one used by firefoxs atm i find out that this guy used counterspy and he manage to remove it so im trying it now doing a full system scan on my pc which is gonna take ageesssss lol i did find a way to solve it but it was pretty complicated here the link if you wanna check it out http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45394 well tbh i havent used any sort of firewall of anti virus/spyware software cos they slow down my pc :( i m downloading avast atm after the counterspy finish i use avast see if anything happens well atm this spyware/malware/virus isnt doing much harm atm i can play css fm tf2 no problem just that its a bit annoyying cos i cant click on any link and google crap, i have a habit of searching bbc sport in google dunno why eventhough i got it bookmark on my toolbar lol but apart from my IE7 and firefox abit dodgy my games and pc works fine just my internet browser dont work probably have to type all website in the address bar and some website keep blocked off automatically for example it wont let me on gamespot and adaware.com lol and a few other i couldnt think of
Maybe it has to do with this: 'Computer experts have released software to tackle a security glitch in the internet’s addressing system. The flaw, discovered by accident, would allow criminals to redirect users to fake webpages, even if they typed the correct address into a browser. Internet giants such as Microsoft are now distributing the security patch. Security expert Dan Kaminsky said that the case was unprecedented, but added: “People should be concerned but they should not be panicking.” “We have bought you as much time as possible to test and apply the patch,” he said. “Something of this scale has not happened before.” Mr Kaminsky discovered the error in the workings of the Domain Name System (DNS) about six months ago' Source: http://ttcs.wordpress.com/2008/07/1...ations-vulnerable-dns-testing-tool-available/ *there are some links posted, that can check if you are vunerable to it* There is even an article @ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7496735.stm Hope this will help ya, gl
flipping hell, sounds scary, atm i manage to use counterspy and got rid of links being redirected, web browser working fine now, but pc still has a unkown trojan which i couldnt remove, could it be it? eventhough the trojan couldnt be removed and its hasnt really done anything to my system cant really notice any slow down but overall wat are the chance they clone a bank website lol it hasnt happen to me yet [touch wood] but what are the chance of your bank details stolen???? anyone got their bank details stolen?
