yea i was surfing some site that deceptively had a yes button popup right before i hit the no and it installed every piece of shit imaginable. Nothing I could do kept it from changing my homepage and making popups in AIM. I had to reformat.

[i_sparafucile]

the advantage to working at a computer store is that I don't need to reformat to fix that shit.

yay, learning =)

PSH!! I don't know what you did but I assure you, I did much much more than I have ever had to, to remove such things, and nothing worked, not in IE options, ms configuration or heavy registry searching; it was straight-up hijacked!

:-P Yay fdisk!

[i_sparafucile]

yeup.

Try CWShredder, and HijackThis next time.

also, safe mode is nice. Check your process dependencies, and if there's one that's not normal, disable it. It'll probably disable something else, so you'll have to hack the registry to remove the dependence.

the worst part was it was making the most ridiculous programs like AIM use, oh, 70 megs of resources, et like that for other things, too.

I Did! I hacked into your stinky computer!

Please tell me you're not using IE...

[i_sparafucile]

No, mozilla.

but IE popups will still occur if background processes launch them...

[cmdrbean]

Gotcha.
