Attack on my compuer Part Deux

[Craig Sinon]

Thanks for the response. I checked out that website, and
my browser was hijacked. I found the files and wasted
them. Ok, so that's fixed.

Same problem still exists with some embedded file putting
porn links directly into my "c" drive, and adding some
icons to my desktop (specifically, "diet pills" and "play
online") I have downloaded spybot S&D, and it found a
lot of crap on my pc. But these bogus porn links keep
coming back after each reboot, regardless if I have my
wireless modem in or not?

Thanks again!!
Craig

Hi Craig,

I would highly suspect that there is a process (EXE.. but more than likely
..BAT) started on your machine during boot.

Check the startup items via Start > Run > "msconfig" (without the
quotes)... On the Startup Tab, look at the command column. Scrutinize any
entries that end with .BAT. If you find a .BAT entry, locate the file and
open it with a Text Viewer. More than likely this will be your culprit.
