Bad Virus

[Stevehere]

That is helpful, except Ccleaner will not help - it's not likely it's hiding out in the temps.

What it looks like is the trojan is trying to direct you to a page to download more viruses (Yes, the plural is viruses not virii. That is incorrectly used by hackers etc and does not follow usual pattern in the english language)
yet the page is no longer available. So it would be a good idea to disconnect yourself from the internet and as said before, reformat your HD a few times and then get a decent anti virus e.g kaspersky or NOD32.

internet explorer has been hijacked, nothing else is effected except internet explorer so that makes it pretty obvious. Theres a high possibility that it could be hiding in his temp folder, meaning that if it is and you think it isn't, what if it is and he avoids my way of getting rid of it?

Also (bold bit):

Sorry but this has to be said.. Nobody likes a smartass.. you think we care about how we spell it?

Its like saying to you hacking isn't called hacking, its called cracking.

Yeah, I know it's called cracking, but no one comments on that here, yet I have seen some one say I have viruses and then some one goes no you have a few virii in your system, and I was only adding that so I didn't get some smartass comment. And no, I wasn't being smartass because of the reasons of me having to add that little bold section. And I don't he should skip your way, but just because it is hijacking IE doesn't mean it IS in his temps. But I never said he shouldn't try it - just doubted the effectiveness though it was a very valid suggestion.

Norton, Mcaffe, Sophos, the lot are ABSOLUTE rubbish.

AVG or AVAST are the best, If you wish to buy one though... I reccomend AVG (Theres a free & paid version.)

Seeing as the thread starter hasn't replied then theres no point helping him..

[shizzle]

Obviously not, he is probably hacked or cba now so this thread might aswell be locked.

Whilst re-formatting switch off your internet connection (Router, wired modem)

Once formatted, only use the internet to download AVG (reccomendation) once downloaded and installed, then install Zonealarm (FIREWALL)

Uhh what, turning off your modem whilst reformatting will do 0 (read: zero).

Is That Carried On From The A Virus Hiding In A Network Cable? Lol

[Recursion]

Could be a virus in the BIOS, yes, some stupid companies leave the BIOS unlocked.

Anyway,

If you can, format, with the network cable unplugged so you can't go on the internet unintentionally/accidentally and use another computer to download AVG Free and ZoneAlarm Firewall Free, copy them to your computer using a USB stick and install them, then plug your network cable back in.

It takes just a few seconds for a virus/spyware/malware to install once you open Internet Explorer, also download FireFox, www.getfirefox.com
