I am so fucking pissed right now. Due to a long flicker in power this morning, my computer was off when I came downstairs. No biggie.

Only about 15 different fucking programs installed themselves into IE and other facets of my computer. I had to close down about 5 unknown .exe's from the task manager, resort my entire favourites folder, since about 30 extra bookmarks and ten folders were added to it, not to mention it was sorted alphabetically (Fucking up my entire "I click here to go there" routine), and on top of all that, there's a fucking bar on my fucking browser that I can NOT GET THE FUCK OFF. It keeps popping up a fucking "HAY U LIKE 2 FUCK?!" shitass popup every time I open a new window, or basically do ANYTHING.

I've run Spybot. I've run Ad-aware. They caught stuff, but not enough.

Help.

The last time I fucked with the registry, it was on a laptop.. Like, one of those old ones that was as thick as most people's forearms.

So no.

I was thinking along the lines of someone posting a third possible spyware extractor.

And I h8 Kazaa.

Did you run through your installed programs? Might be some shit in there. Also glance at the startup tab under Start->Run->msconfig for screwy stuff.

Hijack this did the trick to take off the extra browser bar, thanks Karnaj! I see why it's "Use at my own risk", now.

And the second thing after spybot, Adaware and task manager was the add/remove programs.. heh..

(Nice RQG here)

Hijack This, last I used it, lets you get some pretty in depth control over your browser. I think what he means is if you don't know what you're doing in it you could screw it up.

I recommend finding a forum via Google or something to walk you through it.

 
can you please fix my title

i DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE KEEP POSTING SIMULAR STUFF AND PEOPLE POST THINGS TO FIX IT BUT HERE IT IS AGAIN.

hijack this tells you whats running in your system

shredder it removes some hijakers that other dont and doest it completly

start up list a nice program that tells you everything thats set to auto load much better than ms config


Panda scan a online FREE AV that picks up stuff nortons doenst becuse the viris/trojan bypasses it or turns it off

Spy ad... it blocks alot of the security holes that MS forgot, as well as prevents most pop ups and screen hijacks (i personaly cant recomend enough)

A fourum where you can post your Hijack this results and people who live to solve other peoples problems cant wait to help you. Seriously expect a detailed anylsis of your entire sytem in a few hours tops complete with how to fix it.

Spy bot you need this if you dont have it

Ad aware you also need this

down load these programs run the scans etc etc should solve most problems, if not go to the forum i posted THEY have ALL the answers

maybe Drysart will sticky this thing

Im confused as always[xIMG]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/356687/somthorsig3.JPG[/img]

*crams a banana down Somthor's throat* Could you be less of a jagbag for three minutes? PlzK?Thx! Just because a similiar question has been posted recently doesn't mean anything. Maybe something new has come out that could help the problems. Got it? So play nice.

A couple of things my dad suggested when I had a similar problem before was Startup Monitor and Startup control from here.
