    For the past couple of weeks I have been dealing with this annoying hijacker. The whole url is " res://purir.dll/index.html#37049 ". I have run spyware doctor and that got rid of the old url which was .....html#12802. I read a couple of forums about using hijackthis, but that is just way too complicated. PLEASE I NEED HELP. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
