Remster 30 #12 August 21, 2009 My mom had the same problem... I had to use a few different tools a few times to get it cleaned. I had to put malwarebytes on a usb drive from another computer to get it on. Good luck. It was a pain.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,107 #13 August 21, 2009 It's the Internets. It's a series of tubes, and some goof put a lot of stuff in one of the tubes, and now it's all backed up all the way into your Google. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgerussia 0 #14 August 21, 2009 Quotei get an "internet explorer cannot display this web page" message. the same thing happens when i try to go to the spybot website. You have some malware running. Try to: - Go http://qscan.bitdefender.com (press "Start" button at the top). It will scan your pc for running malware. - Download and install BitDefender http://www.bitdefender.com - a trial version is free for 30 days. Run a full system scan after reboot. - If you cannot open any of those sites, it's probably time to get a rescue disk. I used http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/ and in past I used http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Kaspersky-Rescue-Disk-Download-100454.html - download them on a different machine, burn a CD, and reboot your machine from this CD; scan the drive.* Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. * Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should then probably be able to get to the site. If you still cant, let me know and i will download the file and host it for you. These malware programs can be a real pain to get rid of. I would suggest switching to either firefox or IE8 as older browsers are an easy way to get reinfected~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
