| My husband watches porn on the compter And I have told him for months thats it going to mess up the computer. Well now it has. Everytime I go to a search engine like Yahoo or Google and click a link, I get redirected to something completely different. Plus the computer is so slow. We do have spy sweeper and McAfee viruse protection. I have ran them both and nothing has worked. I lso checked my default home page and thats okay. Someone help me. |

| Some of these other people are copying and pasting answers. Here's your problem, your browser has been hijacked. Try this, download Spyware Doctor Starter Edition, which will remove more malware than any other spyware cleaner and it's free and available on download .com. Also download AVG antispyware which is another great program to remove malware.Then go to Trend Micro HouseCall to do a free online scan. This should remove any remaining malware/viruses on your pc. Make sure your current antivirus is fully up to date as well. Hope this helps. |
