slirsredirect.search.aol.com

[Stebbo14]

Whern using IE 6 as my browser, I can't access the web,
but see a web address which states
Finding slirsredirect.search.aol.com
this flashes in the bottom left corner and the small
green progress bar flashes, the only way out is to close
the window. When I checked my IE options it had changed
the home page to Whatsfind.com, uninstalling whatever
Whatsfind.com does not solve the problem. I have searched
Google and found others who have this problem. It is
either a virus or spyware, but in any event does anyone
know how to cure the problem, or has anyone also
encountered this
Cheers

Steps to take if you have spyware that is not removed by
Microsoft Windows
AntiSpyware (beta)
1) Open up AntiSpyware
2) Click Tools at the top
3) Click "Submit a Suspected Spyware Report"
4) Fill out the form with as much detail so we can analyze
quickly

By doing these steps before trying something new, you make
the product better.

Thanks again for testing the beta!!!!


1) update both Microsoft Antispyware and your antivirus
application.
2) restart in safe mode by pressing the F8 function key
before the first Windows screen appears at startup.
3) do full deep scans with Microsoft Antispyware. Repeat
scanning until a complete scan comes through clean. Ditto
with the antivirus.
