dude, are these guys worse than the telemarketers or what?
i got some crap where it changes my homepage when i start internet explorer up. goes to the same super-gay place everytime. ten zillion pop-ups. can't find the crap in my add/remove programs or anything, sneaky bastards.
anyone having similar issues, and feel like venting?
anyone have a suggestion on how to exorcise this demon from my computer's bowels?

Adaware might help
Well... my computer randomly locks up the first couple times I use it every day and it's both virus free and spyware free... anyone suggest I get a new computer?

Spybot Search & Destroy is great at getting rid of this crap and it has a cool name as well.

and if that first link doesn't work, you can always try that next one which is exactly the same!
... I'm gradually getting the hang of this place.

i had something like this once, this was before i had heard of adaware (or it even existed? it was a while ago) but i just found a file that kept changing the homepage in the programs>startup directory and deleted it. of course the best sollution is to download adaware (its already been linked a few times :P).

And by harrassing you and sending you to their stupid site irrespective of whether you want to go there EVERY time you surf is going to accomplish what?
I mean if you DID want to visit there at some point this kind of thing would put you off anyway.
If they want to make you aware of their site this would really just make you aware that you DON'T like it.
So again I ask what is it supposed to achieve?

I hope it's not "Lop" you've got infesting your machine. The people who make that really ought to be brutally hacked to bits with a soup spoon.

Once my homepage was set to a porno site, which was well handy because I kept forgetting the address.

I prefer Adaware over Spybot - Adaware seems to find more stuff than Spybot.
