Newport Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 After ever day on the internet, i notice that my homepage will not stay the same for more then 24 hours. After this period a foreign site is made as my homepage. I know that there is some kind of trojan or something at work but i cannot delete it. Anyone have a program that is free to download? I already have Ad Aware 6.0, Trojan Hunter (but it only tells me if i have any on and will not delete because i am on the trial version) Spyware Blaster, and Search & Destroy. Is there another progam that will detect this file and delete it? Thanks, Newport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rein Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 (edited) go to trendmicro house call. Its an online virus scanner and its free. It scans for all known viruses and trojans through an applet that downloads at the beginning and removes them from your system. edit spybots free version is their full version!

exeter_acres Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Actually this sounds like a homepage hijacker..... ad aware and the like seem to miss them... Hijack This seems to be the best for this.... Here is a link to download it.. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html Be careful though. Unlike Ad Aware, etc. do no delete everything it finds... look through the lists and delete the ickies!

Rick_fourdumbkids Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 if adaware fails then try spysweeper thats free fron download.com but a trojan could also be picked up by avirus sweeping software a few people here are quite partial to avast i run it and i love it, it's saved me a$$ a few times and it's free! avast.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
