Hello,
I was browsing the internet yesterday and found myself to have gotten a browser hijacker (never got one before). I didnt notice until I had lowered all the windows a saw a big advertisement on my desktop. Anyway, I had Ran Spybot 1.3 and Adaware 6. The problems I was experience were:
the homepage would always redirect itself and would ask to install a "security" thing, and a pop-up says you must click yes (and forcably repeats itself so you have to close everything quickly). Well, I got around the desktop part by going to Start>Control Panel>Display>Desktop>Customize Desktop..and unclicking a security thing for the page. Well, now that I have my wallpaper back to normal, I'm only faced with 2 annoying problems. I finished running Spybot and adaware (finding several problems), I reboot and the page still redirects itself to the same homepage (after changing it back to normal), and 3 favorites keep popping back up (after deleting them). I'm very sure the original desktop file is still on my computer (I believe it was C:/Windows/Web/desktop/desktop.html). Well, I cannot update to SP1, so I'm left with this log and whatever security updates it may have..
