    Hey,

    I don't really know too much about this problem but i have read some stuff so hopefully give you enough info. Everytime i load an internet page it diverts straight to www.safetydefender.com - it just wont go away no matter how many times i scan and delete threats.

    Based on other threads i have run one of those hijackthis scan things, but i have no idea what it means and i dont want to delete stuff i shouldnt! I dont know if it will show a prob, but help would be greatly appreciated - or any more suggestions.

    Hopefully the file has attached, i havent done this bafore as you can tell.

    Thanks for your time
