Re: msn suprise
As I said in my first post, I have run spyware checks and norton runs 24-7. I can't find any spyware or viruses so I doubt it is due to that. I have edited my post to say I'll run a hijack this log tomorrow.
My main interest is how this link appeared, i.e. is there a programme which is involved. I haven't installed anything new at all over the last few days and my internet use has been just looking at news and emails for the last couple of days so nothing new has been installed or downloaded over the last 48 hours or so.
Also, is it possible that the link itself may have triggered msn to send another link to a seperate contact once it was recieved from the first contact?
I'm off to bed now. Thank you for the replies I have recieved and as stated, I'll post a hijack this log as soon as possible. If anyone has any information with regards to the site involved then I would be most grateful.

By "programme" may I assume you mean the malware that you don't think you have?
Are you really under the impression that Norton or any antivirus program will prevent virus and other malware infections? If so, you are operating under false assumptions. The software does a decent job of detecting known threats. But NONE of them catches everything, and NONE of them can detect all new threats, or attacks geared specifically to you.
I don't know what your problem is; it could be something as simple as HTML or Javascript redirects. But please follow up on some of the advice given in this thread. We have ALL taken your post seriously, and dismissing well-intentioned advice doesn't serve your cause well. Good luck.

You might want to download and run an A2 anti-trojan scan (A-squared). Also try the Avast program used by Dadkins and consider the 30 free trial of TDS-3 and Trojan Hunter.
Let us know what you find. Lots of interest here.
Mr. B is rarely wrong. |
