Hijackware

[Nesmuth]

I type www.cnn.com and it goes to some japanese sex site.

Anyone had to deal with hijackware? Lets share on how we deal with it.

I use Hijackit freeware to inspect and edit the registry.

Good, you got some nasty spyware on your computer. toy with hijackthis, ad-aware, spy bot S D, and TCPFIX you got some host file that redirect cnn to funny web sites. it will take hours and numerous reboots to get rid.

I've been there before.

Last summer, it was hell for me. I ended up getting redirected to porn sites and bullshit spamming sites that I couldn't avoid. After hours and hours of work, I finally managed to get rid of everything.

You're better off reformatting your computer, Nesmuth. Once you reinstall everything, update Windows and get a good anti-virus software (e.g. Norton AV 2005).

I don't believe reformatting would be the first step....depending on the data that you have on your computer.

I would try the different software mentioned above. Two of my favorites is Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, and if you are running Windows XP, I find their AntiSpyware software (and its free) to be pretty effective.

I thought of that but hijackit freeware helped me get rid of the hijackware on the registry and all's well afterwards.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you can't successfully delete spyware using those free programs out there, then I would suggest reformatting your computer.

Best suggest get Spybot search & destory prgm, I use both Hijackthis and SSD to inspect the suspection of infected spywares. easy removes spyware and infected from the computer..
