When booting XP Tablet, Windows Media loads on start up.
Also my home page changes each time I boot up. The
address looks like:
http://ehttp.cc/?www.moneycentral.com. Some random
search page appears...help???
your system most likely have SPYWARE etc in it... Spyware junks usually keep
on changing homepage settings etc.
Here's 5 steps that EVERY computer owner should do or have if they want to
make sure their system is not infested with spyware, trojans and viruses...
1. first download AdAware from
www.lavasoft.de install it, update it, RUN
it...
2. second, download spybot seek & destroy from
http://security.kolla.de
install it, update it, and RUN it...
--- sofar you should have spyware free system ---
3. third, download spywareblaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html install it, "update" it
and RUN it...
--- after this you should have system that's protected from some spyware
stuff, not ALL though ---
4. get yourself virus killer if you do not have...
www.grisoft.com has free
virus killer it you bother dig up more their site to download free version,
install, update and run it...
--- after this your system should be protected from most viruses ---
5. get yourself FIREWALL if you do not have it... Usually free firewall like
ZoneAlarm (
www.zonelabs.com) will do...
--- and after this step, you should beable to see when something in your
system tries to connect outside from your system etc ---
1st and 2nd steps are both good programs, but I never trust only one of them
myself because i am bit too paranoid with my network security. So i run
both.. both are good, but nothing is perfect so better be sure...
spywareblaster "protects" your system from spyware etc. so it's also good
idea to run it...
virus killer and firewall are usually VERY important part, If you have winXP
you might have it's inbuilt firewall on, that helps some, but it does not
show outbound connections that are sometimes very good to "notice"
and remember to UPDATE/RUN those programs now and then just to stay safe
side on things...
I hope this help you...
