websearch = crash

[Shaolinwind]

Ok this is SCREWED up.

If I search in yahoo, the search comes up, an error message shows and says that it cannot find the page it had just brought up. I can hit back and click a link fast and the page comes up.. But if I don't act fast the error comes up, and gives me a "page not found" 404 type error. I reset, I checked for virii, and did a spybot search, then rebooted again. I am pretty confounded.

Hey man, just because you are a 5 hour drive doesn't mean I don't intend to come and beat you with a bar of soap wrapped in a towel. :whip:

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Ah....bar of soap. I'd been using liquid soap to beat folks....didn't work.

*corrects notes* :wavey:

 

[OUMoose]

I use the full version of spy sweeper, I am running IE 7. Use Adaware SE. That is good too, and don't forget Norton.

Good luck with everything man.

You are only adding to the pain and suffering you will have to endure before I allow you the sweet relief of death, you know that right?

For the record, mantis and I are good freinds.

Well, I don't use Yahoo, but for many of us that um... browse from work, IE is the only option...

 

[Grenadier]

This sounds a lot like the Cool Web Search scumware.

You may want to get the latest version of "Hijack This!" and run it.

Post your logs here; there are many folks who can help tell you what to safely remove.

Then what you need to do is beat your IT dept over the head with a stick, which is what they should be doing to anyone they catch infecting their system.... I mean using Explorer

I could careless about work man. that's alright who cares about work computers! however if you're annoyed by IE at work all it takes is one LUNCH with the IT guy. you dont have to pay for him, only sit with him for like 3 min's on the lunch table. that's much more than IT people expect.... well unless you work for a big corp then there's no point behind that.

I actually prefer FF, but with asset tracking on the PCs here, I can't even install it, unless I want to run it from a flash drive.
