Does anyone know about this? and can help me?

I'm afraid to click that link...

Have you tried Google toolbar? It seems to block pop-ups very effectively for me, and it has nifty search functions on top of that. But you might have a virus, and I don't know if Google toolbar can do much for that.

Anyway, here is the link for Google toolbar, if you want to give it a try: http://toolbar.google.com/

I hope that you get the problem fixed, though, and I regret that I couldn't be more helpful.

Thanks for your help, will give that a go...

Thanks

OMG guess what ... I tried to go to that page you told me about and this hijacker thing took over and I cannot get to the page you suggested... oh this is hopeless

[Nikki]- Hang in there. We have some wonderful techies on this forum. They will probably be meandering by before long!

smog,

Popup blockers are not the solution for spyware infections. The popupas are the symptom of an infection on the user's computer. The spyware needs to be addressed, not the symptoms.

Nikki,

Please do the steps in this thread: http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21110

Let us know if you need help with anything.

You, good Craven, are indeed correct. Now I've learned something new today!

Also, [Nikki], I hope that Craven's suggestions helped you.

Thanks for your advice Craven...although I was working through it all and got to the part where I download Stinger and it happened again...went to download it and I can't get past this damm site that keeps coming up and blocking me doing anything further....

Denze advised me in Pm to download CWShredder and run that in safe mode...will give that a go too...Thanks Denze.

I gotta beat this thing!

Well guess what.... nope cannot get to the download because this thing is stopping me again. I get to the page where I can download...but when I click a link to download the program it re-directs me to this one certain page...

Has anybody got any other ideas?

Try getting hijackthis from here:

http://files.webattack.com/localdl834/HijackThis.exe

Run it and post a log (do not fix anything yet).

Umm tried that ...but goes to that same page

*cries*

I don't know much about computers sorry... but this thing is driving me insane

This is so damm frustrating!

Ummm it seems to not let me go to any exe. programs at all. And its messing with my email, haven't been able to send an email since it happened. But not being able to download a program to fix this problem is the most frustrating thing....

I have adaware and it doesn't seem to pick it up...I have SPybot and that does not pick it up, I have a virus scanner and that picks nothing up....this is such a sneaky bugger! argh!

I have put the file up on my ftp server. From what I gather you can't download it, or can you not run it?

try to get it from here:
http://www.cmc.net/~jpow/stinger.exe

I sent you a PM on how to get the file. My thinking is maybe port 80 is messed up and 21 is OK?

I have not used windows in a long time so is this how you get a File with FTP?


Start --> Run... then type....

ftp hit enter

open ftp.cmc.net hit enter

you should be asked for a username... enter.....

jpow

you should be asked for a password... enter ..... what I send you in a PM..

type....

get stinger.exe hit enter




I'm not sure where the file ends up. Good luck...

Well where do I start...

Denze...your pm with the hosts stuff...did that and it didn't work... I went to continue with the Craven instructions and it would just take me back to that one page which I cannot escape.... thanks for your help

jpowell... I tried the ftp thingy you sent me and well...I did all that you instructed to do and it put the stringer.exe on my desktop. I went to open it and it won't let me open it...said I cannot open it in Dos form or something or other...I tried right clicking it to see if I could open with that way but to no luck...just has the Open option and it opens a Dos box..
thanks for your help


I really don't know what to do... some suggest a format but I so don't know how or what to do there and I beleive its a painful task if you have stuff on your computer you want to keep..

I'm at a loss

I got the same problem, except I downloaded the Opera browser and it doesn't bother me on there. But I still would like to get rid of it. I got this "HijackThis" program and it shows a list of things I can delete, I don't know really how to use program can anyone help? Thanks.

Why not back your stuff up and just reformat?

Ohhhhh I fixed it!...with help from a friend in msn he sent me the HijackThis exe and I ran that a few times over and cleaned everything up and now it all works perfectly...I can email and I am not flooded with the scumware!...

But I do wish to thank all of you for helping me...

Craven...thank you so very much
smog....thank you
Denze...thank you
jpowell....thank you

& everyone else who did...

I feel so relieved...thanks for your great forum being here when I needed it! I have recommended it to all my friends!
