Hi I've read some posts here and I found that my problem
with my homepage being changed w/o me being able to
change it back are most likely caused by spyware. So I
disabled third party browsing and used both spybot and
adaware and found a few new files. Also Explorer now
works. But when i reset the third party browsing setting
and restart my computer the same problem stilll happens.
my internet takes me to a site called Home search and I
can't goto any other wedsites or change my home page. As
long as the third party browsing is disalbed I can use my
internet as normal... So does any one know whats wrong or
how to fix this? Oh BTW kazaa lite isnt working at all ne
more help to fix that too would be nice thanks a lot.
 
Just to confirm you used both programs (Sypbot and Ad-Aware) correctly
1. You checked for UPDATES, before you scanned.
2. You turned OFF System Restore.

Try this

and this:

CWShredder

As for Kazza lite- It probably does not work anymore because you removed the
3rd party Spyware that installed itself on your computer while downloading
Kazza lite. When you download some free programs you go through a process
during the install whereby you accept the end-user license. If you read
this carefully (which nobody does) it usually tells you that 3rd party
spyware/garbage is being installed on your computer along with the free
program that you want. I know a lot of people use Kazza lite and seem to
get around this, however I am not sure how this is accomplished.

I tried this P2P program http://www.winmx.com/ , and though it had minor
parisite additions, I removed them and am still able to use the program.
Just be sure to run Ad-aware and Spybot immediately after you download the
program.
 
Ok i used adaware and spybot correctly and I also
Downloaded CWshredder. my computer seems to be compleatly
clean of Trojains, I still have the same problem... do i
really need the third party browsing enabled??? also
about kazaa can i just reinstall it and would it work
then?? thanks for your help!
 
No you can disable third party browsing, however that does not get rid of
your problem and there are some third party browser helpers you may want -
Goggle is one for example- toolbar cop didn't help?

As for Kazza- I suppose you can reinstall it and get the same
spyware/garbage back on your computer again. I really don't know that much
about Kazza. I just know I didn't want the extra spyware/garbage I had to
take along with it, so I don't use it. I couldn't seem to get it to work
w/o having the spyware too. Maybe there is a way to do this, or maybe some
people just don't care about the extra sypware, I just don't know. Like I
said that is why I use WinMX.
 
Well actully I have No Clue what to do on toolbarcop....
i dont want to delete anything i may need so i dont know
what to do. As for kazaa i tryed reinstallin it but asme
error so what ever i'll try out wiwnmx if u say it works
for u idk as long as i can lisen to my music :) thanks
and if you could help me with toolbarcop that'd b nice
