Hi,
I really need help. There is a bug in my computer. After every little while the computer itself deletes all my favorites that are not in folders and deletes them (the folders and favorites in folder stay as they are) and ads some 12 XXX rated we sites as favorites. On top of that it chances my home page from blank to some wierd search page.
How can I check what is doing that and how can i get rid of this kind of behaviour.
 
Sounds like you picked up a Trojan that periodically resets your favourites
and home page. A lot of them do, so I can't tell which specific nasty is on
your system.
Run one of the many available adware/spyware detectors to detect and remove
it.

I did all that adwarespyware stuff, but it is still there and I just can't figure out to which program this Trojan is attached (i think it works this was, cos it can't survive on its own). Is there a way i can check that out by the time. Because i know when the trojan "surprises" occur. I checked the file search from start etc. but it does not allow me to search by time - only by date. I think if i can somehow search by time i can compare that list to the time the trojan activated and then i can get rid of that program.
Any ideas there?
