Hi,

Bought this PC 6 to 7 weeks. Was working perfectly till this morning. Now whenever I click on the Internet Explorer the PC slows down. My default site automatically switched to "http://serachweb2.com/passthrough/index.html?http//www.asiaone.com" instead of just "http://www.asiaone.com" which was my default.

Besides, a portion of my screen at the bottom displays a set of prompts to gambling sites and a host of undesirable other sites.

Please advise.

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.


Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon,

available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program. It
is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and give you
the ability to disable them.

Hope this helps.
