Hi,

 

My mate's got this problem with his PC where his browser automatically re-directs to quicknavigate.com. I know Smithy had a similar problem recently and managed to sort it. The problem he has is it will not restore to a previous point at all. Has anyone ever heard of this browser problem and sorted it?

 

Thanks

hi vijay

its spyware m8

they are all pretty similar,,they re-direct you to a premium rate charge

it keeps changing your internet settings

get a spyware package

i believe you can download one called spybot

 

p,s posted your cheque this morning m8

run the normal antispy stuff in safemode m8

and then also run this, surprising for microshite it DOES work well

and gets rid of the main threats

If it still persists, you might need to delve into the registry - IE (assuming thats the browser in question) has loads of stuff in there that controls its operation and a lot of it can get overrun by crap like this.

 

Wish I knew the whole lot of them for you, but look at stuff such as:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search

 

Good luck

Search for it and try it.

thanks everyone. It seems the microsoft anti spyware worked a treat :)
