New site? Maybe some day.
|
No matter what search engine I try to go to (Google, Yahoo, MSN, AltaVista) my computer brings up royalsearch.net
Anyone ever get something like this before?
Rev?
Maybe even...ugh...fine...Rusted Angel? |

hmmm sounds like some spyware crap self installed itself...i had a simliar problem months ago...
i think you should go to www.download.com and install "Ad-Aware"
then run the program...it will detect spyware and remove it...
it's a great program to run every once in a while on your PC in any case...
i'm trying to remember...if you need to do soemthing else..

IT MAY BE A L SE NUT BEHIND THE KEYB ARD |

also, go to tools->internet options and see what your start page is.
though, in this case.. it's a virus..
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.bootconf.html
VBS.Bootconf is a Trojan Horse that modifies the TCP/IP settings to point to a different address. It also changes the Internet Explorer home page and search page to connect to www.royalsearch.net.
VBS.Bootconf is written in Visual Basic Script.
I'm guessing it re-writes your hostname file
c:\windows\system32\hosts or hotsname something like that. |
|
Aaron, can you re-word that in Beakey-talk? |
|
you clicked on something you shouldn't.
it was most-likely attached to an e-mail.
run norton anti-virus. |
|
I already ran Norton Anti-Virus and it referred me to you.
Thank you though.
Goddamn these computers. |
|
run ad-aware too
and then click on that link above and follow the steps listed |
|
Thanks again. I'll do that once I go home.
You're awesome. Carina is such a lucky girl. I'm so jealous. |
|
heh
yeah he's special..that's why I put on a concert for him and do the things i do
<3 |
|
I followed those instructions, Rev, three times (to the T) but it's still there. I guess it's a new virus so there's probably a few unknown details about it. Oh well.
If you hear anything, let me know. |
|
hmmm see i remember a similar thing....it didn't work at first...and i was getting soo pissed....and in the end i did something else..that did it....
do you use IE?
aaron what if he installs a different version of ie? |
|
now you need Mike from Bane of Existence
he is the only one who can help you |
|
I finally got rid of that fucking virus I had so everybody on this board can go back to their normal lives again.
But, seriously, thanks Aaron, Carina, and Joe. |
|
yay the virus is gone!!! wooooooooo |
