Hi,
Have you tried to get help from those sites mentioned?
Most of us are not much experts in malware removal. These sites have professionals with experience in dealing with those things.
After completing their steps here are some steps to prevent it again:
- Make sure you click on only links which you need
- NEVER install any addons or toolbars comming from any software as a by product (perhaps NIS shall be an exception)
- Download softwares from original endors only
- Use adblockers like adbolck, adblock plus etc in your browser.
- Don't allow softwares to change home page of browsers (NIS some times do that if it finds you're redirected to a malicious site, so its an exception)
- Change the DNS settings of your Router/ Network Adapter(s) to norton DNS Servers (its free. visit Norton ConnectSafe )
Think before clicking any links, it helps you!
Thank you Guru for the information I will try the things you said to do.
Hi poochokid .Are you stil having the same problem? Have you tried to run the Norton Power Eraser? You can download it through www.norton.com/npe or www.norton.com/virushelp. You can use it to scna yuor computer. If ever it doesn't find threats, you can use the Advanced Tab and run the new scan they put in on it, the Scanner for unwanted programs. That will help you identify programs as well that might cause this redirections.
Hello
I believe that the O/P is better off going to one of the removal sites listed as they have the expertise to recommend and use scans and logs and help you to remove any malware that you may have. The use of advanced tools should only be used under the supervison of experts in the removal of malware safely. The removalist will work with you on a 1 to 1 basis in a protected environment and will know if something is malware or is malware using the same name as an important file which if deleted could result in a dead computer. Please try one of the recommended sites. Thanks.
