What is going on? Can someone help?

[Nesreen]

OK I'm stuck. I was surfing the internet the other night and this page opened that I was unable to locate or close. Since then, I have been receiving so many ads and the pages I do open have these weird links on them underlining certain words. When I open IE, it goes to a blank page, so I will set the homepage on the tool bar to google.com and it goes right back to the blank page. I did the general cleaning instructions about 3428349028 times... but it's still happening. When I clean, the programs always say, virus removed, but it keeps coming back. Help!

Nasreen, since you tried the general cleaning 3428349028 times... ;), it might be a good idea to go to one of the site's who does HijackThis log cleaning (Wilders does not anymore (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=42149)) . Two of the best are http://www.subratam.org/ & CastleCops (http://castlecops.com/forum67.html&sid=52ae42c3ab8aecfa13029f4dcb666097) . I wish you the best of luck. :)

As stated at the beginning and end of General Cleaning (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=50662): If these steps do not resolve your situation, you will need to download and run “Hijack This” found here (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=12516) and post your log at one of the forums found at A-SAP (http://a-sap.org/). The two bigger forums for HijackThis log processing, (meaning they process more log threads each day than most others) are: SpywareInfo.com (http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php) and CastleCops.com (http://castlecops.com/forums.html). Be sure to read their posting policy in the links at their log review forum sections prior to posting.

The steps mentioned in General Cleaning (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=50662) use software that ought to be part of your security, as an absolute minimum.

Once your system is clean, you may want to take a look here (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=45284&page=1&pp=25) for further discussion on security and how to make your system that much stronger and here (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=43117) for more.

This is what works really well for me, very simple to use and maintain. (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=62972)

Hope this helps...

Let us know how you go.

Cheers ;D
