I was doing research for a school project and when I clicked on one of the links I got a flood of pop-ups of porn. Now, when I visit different websites I get a pop-up search engine at this address: http://error.99fh.com/error.htm
I also noticed that the porn was added into my Favorites list too. Those were deleted with no problem, but I cannot remove this search engine. Is anyone familiar with this one
Thank you so much in advance
Steve
 
Watch out for your address window history. Some porn
sights lock themselves on, and they won't delete.

Thank you for the links. I installed the lavasoft but it still pops up. I'll give spybot a try later today. If this thing is not delete-able, I guess I can always the re-format option with the recovery disc.
Thanks again

Did you also run Ad Aware, it is not a blocker, at least the free version
isn't, it's meant to find the sources on your system and can be used to
remove them.

If after running Ad Aware and Spybot, if they find no issues, it may be
coming in through the Windows Messenger Service. NOTE: this is not IM but a
network service enabled by default on XP.

If that is the case, see the following link for information on disabling
this service:
