****How do i insert the screenshots that are on my PC****

Im not sure what problem it is, i think there may have been some attempt at a trojan or something. Heres the lowdown.



Additionally my homepage was set to:

Have you done a full virus and spyware scan?

Currently doing a virus scan through Norton's, ill post the pics up if someone can tell me how to upload them from my harddrive, i cant remember any sites for uploading and getting web address to put into posts

I've had my homepage altered before as well. When it happened to me, I also found that going to some websites such as google.com would redirect me. I used Spybot to get rid of it and to reset the homepage.

Note: you can't reset the homepage through IE. It will just reset itself. You need to either edit it in the Registry or use something such as Spybot.

There should be a 'print screen' button on your keyboard somewhere.
After pressing this button, it captures your screen, and sends it to your clipboard as a BMP.

Open up your preferred graphics program, 'paste', and save as JPG.


On BOS: click on 'POST REPLY' and follow the 'attachments section'

alternatively, upload your pics somewhere else, and llink it here.



Your problem:
Use: Spybot S+D, ad-aware SE, CWShredder, HiJackThis. (in no particular order)
run these with full updates.

What do u mean manual?

 

[MedNez]

If you post a log done with Hijackthis, we can go through and instruct you on which entries to check and "fix", rather than clicking one "Scan" button in Adaware and one "Remove selected" button, or whatever it may be called

Feel free to post a log in this log and we'll check it out.

[Korn]

MS Antispyware has found a shit load of spyware
Do i do what the program recommends or get another opinion

in most cases, yes
unless you specifically have installed spyware utilities, or know of programs that need these to run.
