A really fucked up browser/net problem I need help with

Post by Hamel »

This seems to have happened out of the blue.

For the past few weeks, I've had a problem with IE. When I go to some sites, it doesn't matter which because it happens at random, the page will load but after a second or two the browser will go to http://apps.webservicehost.com and tell me the page can't be found! Well BULLSHIT, I just visited the page you fucktard piece of shit browser!

I have no clue what could have caused it ~.~

Right now I can't browse Slashdot because of this problem. I backtrack to the page and it keeps forwarding me to the webservicehost baloney.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Go into regedit and search for that webpage. Chances are, some piece of spyware took over your Search function or something.

Download Spybot Search & Destroy, too, just in case.

I ran the coolweb shredder, and it appears that I didn't have the trojan.

edit: Checked out hijackthis and compared the results to what was on the site. Don't see any of the malicious stuff.
