I bought a laptop recently and first few 3 weeks, it was going fine. But
after that I figured that I got hooked up by something I dunno (well I was
and still not sure).

I thought 1st : it was a virus.
2nd : its a worm aka redir website
3rd : sort of l33tgroup using activex to hide/unhide web options thru 2nd
and installed by 1st. (you know what)

Well if some1 know whats going on plz tell me.

No. Can't. The crystal ball is broken.
Perhaps if you could actually TELL us what is happening on your computer,
someone MIGHT be able to help.
 
Did you take care of *everything* on the following page before otherwise
using the internet (e.g., to browse or check email)?

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

Don't you think it might help if you were to actually tell us what kind
of problem(s) you're having? Or should we just guess and toss random
answers your way?

No one can help if you don't provide at least a modicum of
pertinent information.

Bring the laptop back to where you bought it and tell them you got hooked up
by something. Post the answers to their questions here.
