...And now I suffer.
So.. Some dirty link that I followed (no, not porn) messed my IE startpage. Meaning, I can't change it anymore. I even tried through registry, but still no success.
:(
Help?
Any help?... A good link to some computer site/forum, where I can ask this same question. I don't know any...
And NO jokes, I'm pissed (by my own stupidity) :hopping:
-
ROFL I remember that happening to me once.
A site like that changed my I.E. startpage to some kind of Lesbian Porn Site. Gave my parents a shock.
And NO, I wasn't browsing those kinds of webpages. I don't understand how it happened.
-
Yes.. Parents... I still live with my mother.. Not for long, if she uses IE...
-
Spyware and/or ad-aware removal my friend.
Spybot: search and destroy, spysweeper, and Ad-aware are the best I know of. :)
-
Tried ad-aware or a similar anti-spyware tool?
EDIT: :rolleyes: What he said........
-
No... Not yet, that is...
-
This is the best, although not free like Ad-aware and Spy-Bot

Shut up!!
I'm suffering here with this 1.35kb/s average speed!!
;)
-
You sure you're not on 28k or 14.4k? I get a good 4.5 or so with my 56k v.90 modem.
-
Yes, yes I'm sure... It's 56k v.90... And it has always been slow...
Stop turning the knife in my back... ;)
(3.5mb/40mins.. downloading spybot)

nothing wrong with living with your parents... i'm 19 and i'm living with my parents still, college is a 2 minute drive from my house, and there's no point moving out where i just have to pay my way for food and an apartment :-/
but of course when i move to UT i'm going to have to bite the bullet and fish out $15,000 a semester for school, room, food, etc. :(
-
I didn't say there's anything wrong :)
Besides.. I'm a mama's boy and proud of it :lol:
-
Well... The SpyBot removed some ****.. But didn't fix the problem..
Now I'm downloading SpySweeper...
And guess I'm gonna download FireFox too... I hate M$....

So... You don't (but you do)?
Brackets won't get you out of this one. :D
-
Well... Err... Very rarely, almost never... Only few times I've surfed for pr0n. I swear!! :D
-
What you mean is, it's very rare when you don't surf for porn?
-
Firefox! Firefox! Firefox! Firefox! Firefox! Firefox! Firefox! Firefox!
Yeah :D
Solves all problems :)
-
HijackThis. And you can change your startpage manually, you know...Tools, Internet Options, General, Homepage.

No (as painfully as it is to say this), don't uninstall IE. Besides, I doubt you could. It's an integral part of Windoze (which kinda explains the OS security problems, eh?). Just... don't use it for surfing. :)
-
[EDIT] F***ing 56k......
Believe me, I feel your pain, lol.
Solves all problems
Actually it has created some problems for me. Most importantly, for some reason, my copy of Firefox will not load this site properly. It does it at my university, and it does it at home. That is on two different connections. IE always works though. I could never figure out what was going on........

Uh.. Get of me... I know that all of you who came here thought that I'm gonna give you a link to a dirty site ;) :lol:
But...
The SpySweeper, SpytBot or HijackThis didn't fix the problem. And I installed Firefox. So far I like it :) Using it right now....
Thank you all for (useless) help ;) :D

SPY SWEPER, SYBOT, HIJACK THIS, AD-AWARE, ALL OF THEM ARE USSELES ****.
I had coolwwwsearch y bug two weeks ago, and spend 3 hours using all avaliable
spybot kilers and...nothing.
When I trie to do something in my registry then my windows didn't even start. I was forced to format my HDD, install my all programs again (another 3 hours)
I SWEAR THAT i COULD KILL THAT MAN WHO CREATED IT, I COULD KILL THEM ALL.

I think I have the same bug... Haven't really checked it 'cos it downloads some **** to my PC.
Yeah! Wanna kill that f***er too!!!!!

Okay... Quick note...
If you got similar problem.. USE ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM!! I ran AVG and it fixed the startpage bug.
This is what I get for not thinking! :hopping:
