I need help. My broswer keeps getting hijacked??
Run Malwarebytes ( Malwarebytes ) through your system.
Download, install and update then run a FULL scan.
I have already downloaded Malewarebytes and ran a scan in safe mode. It found prolaco.m and trojan.agent. It appears to have cleaned it but my browser is still being hijacked. I am running a full scan again now.
Also run fully updated anti-virus.
I am running AVG Free edition which if fully updated. Is that OK?
I would also run Housecall as well: HouseCall - Free Online Virus Scan - Trend Micro USA
Make sure you disable your installed AV first otherwise it slows things down.
Will do and will get back with you.
Nothing found with AVG full scan. I am working on House call now.
Ok. Housecall did not find anything either, but something still owns my browser.
Check your hosts file, Windows > System32> drivers> etc
Also change your home page within the browser itself.
I think I figured it out. I believe I had a zero day Google redirect virus. I was searching around and realized that my Java and Acrobat were messing up and a search returned a new virus labeled CVE-2010-0249 and I downloaded Hitman Pro and it seemed to have fixed all my problems. I thank you for your time and assistance, You have been a great help.
