    I suddenly was finding that when I would go to hotmail, ebay, and yahoo, I couldn't get in and was being redirected to www.windowws.com and their search page. I tried installing spybot, adaware, and now CWshredder from this website. But it didn't seem to change anything. Also when I look at my favorites list, a website www.freesex4all.com is listed there that I never put there. ANd when I go to delete it, it will come back onto my favorites list every now and again. Can anyone help me with what this is and how I can get it out of my computer. Also should I delete some cookies from my administrator/cookies file list. Thanks Ben

    I have read through those steps and did them for the most part. I didn't go and get into the setup though. What is likely wrong with my computer? I can't get the locals here at VOS to do much. Thanks Ben

    For the most part? You didnt go and get into the setup? Whats that mean? You did not answer his questions.

    What did you do?
    Details about problems encountered.
    What symptoms exist?

    Help us help you, were not at your computer. Your answer is pretty much, "I did most of it" so your not giving us anything to go on here.
