Hiya,

Google search results & possible IE is hijacked. All search results are being redirected to sites I dont know. Tried AVG antivirus and spyware cleaners but no use. Can someone help pls?

Thanks.

I suggest looking at the other posts here on this site on the same subject (there are at least 3) & if that doesn't help, please return here.
Also, check into possible DNS poisioning. (especially check your ISP to see if they patched this - info is on this site as to how under "opinion about DNS Exploit fix")

I (& others) have posted answers there & it is just to redundant to keep doing it. Sorry, if this causes any inconvenience. (as always, I speak for myself on this as, others opinions may very)

Hmmmmmm!

Tux, I can't believe that in this "Age of Enlightenment", anyone is still using I.E. (any version) for their Default Browser.

When will they get the message that it's just "UNSAFE".
M$ has been trying to patch the security holes in I.E. and fix its other idiosyncrasies since the Windows 95 days, and they still haven't gotten it fixed.

For years, people used Netscape to get away from I.E. and now we've got Mozilla Firefox, built on the old Netscape core.
It doesn't use ActiveX and is generally much Safer than I.E.

If a person has some weird aversion to Firefox, there's always more browsers out there, I'm told, that work just fine.
So why waste valuable time fussing with something that's just basically BROKEN?

I don't know.....maybe I just have an over simplistic view of life.
