Default Your DL link has been Hijacked

I recently started having trouble with my homepage being changed to a somewhat "adult" search page. I found out that this is referred to as 'hijacking.' I tried to download your software ONLY TO BE REDIRECTED TO THE SAME DAMN SITE!!! Please help

Hi there Scott

Something else to try is the instalation of another browser like Opera/mozilla and the visit the site with that one. It should help circumvent the browser hijacker and enable you to be able to rid your system of the nasties on your system. Otherwise follow the good advice you've been given by the other folks. Hope you come right.
