My daughter used AOL IM and MSN hotmail last night. Probably some other stuff too. OS is Windows ME. This morning after booting up i clicked on IExplorer. The computer went to this webpage, showing the usual MSN webpage:
http://www.browser-page.com/home.html
the computer then opened another page:
http://www.adwarehunter.com/creatives/alert1.gif
The crazy thing is, I went back to tools, internet options, and reset my homepage back to the Washington Times, and saved changes. I closed down all other operations and reopened IE. Browser again went back to the MSN homepage. What gives?
Now i'm really mad, so I ran both spybot and lavasoft adaware (not simutaneously) , and neither one picked up anything. Then went to settings...add/install programs...and deleted anything unfamiliar.
This junk still runs when i click IE.
