Hi, someone told me I may have been hacked because I can
no longer type a name in my address bar and search. I
HAVE to put in http:// first or it says page not found. I
just searched for "old navy" and this is the address it
led me to http://vrape.hardloved.com/top/search.php?
id=1&s=oldnavy.com. It sounds very suspicious to me.
Please help. Also, I just got a seperate message telling
me to 'hold down the enter key for a neat trick'. It
wasn't a regular pop-up. It looked like a Windows pop-up.
Am I being hacked? How can I stop this?
 
LV,
"vrape.hardloved.com" = CWS.Vrape (Coolwebsearch trojan)
