Browser Hijacked

[Guest]

hi,
Recently i have experienced problems with the Internet Explorer 6. Everytime
i turn on my computer my default home page has changed to (www.easypic.org) i
tried restoring it but with no luck. New favourite sites has been added
containing adult material. When i am browsing net for like 15 minutes, i keep
getting redirected to a porn site and new programs are installed in my
computer withou my premission even though my internet security levels are set
to medium. I tried removing the 'porn dialers' from my pc but when i browse
the net again they reappear. My specs are as follows Windows XP home edition
SP1. Plz could someone help because my children really want to use the net.
Thanks

I went to the site to see what it was all about and my virus scanner
went off 7 times... I finally gave up and shut down my browser. I
would suggest installing/updating your virus definitions.
