Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / December 2006Home page blocked by advertisement for spy ware control
My family uses the Google homepage provided via Microsoft Internet Explorer. The page has been replaced by an advertisement for spy ware blocker. If we log off and back on we get explicit porno photos with the same advertisement. Our children are seeing these images. We need help. We are only basically computer savvy and this virus is very sophisticated. The first thing that happened was that our MacAfee virus protection was turned off and we couldn't restart it. We went to the Microsoft and Google sites and downloaded Norton, Firefox, and Microsoft anti-viral. Running Norton did not detect the virus. The virus has also disabled (grayed out) our ability to respond to posts from folks trying to help us. A thoughtful GORDON asked if we had any protection at all. We had no way to respond to him. If you answer this post please e-mail the reply to thomas.bolcar@verizon.net. Only the scullycat computer is infected. The other machine is not networked to it. Please help us. We have a real SOB here and need the best to beat him. Merry Christmas. It sounds like your computer has been infected by some malware, definitively a browser highjacker, possibly more as these rarely come alone. Your post was in a MAC group, and I am not a MAC person. I suggest you go on the web and search for spyware removers for MAC. If you have a PC under Windows, get AdAware (from Lavasoft) and SpyBot. Disable System Restore and make sure to run both over and over until all the malware is gone. Then check your computer for virus. When done enable System Rstore. I hope this helps.
