Hello all. I am under the belief that the think point worm/virus (?) got a bit further than we thought. was running 4.8 and I think someone here clicked a 'bogus' survey on face_ook, and the rest is unfortunate history.
occasional redirect of websites and 5.0 is blocking malicious url_rootkit?
Anyway, now on 5.0 and MBAM, and ccleaner. at least 3 full boat scans and still from time to time with just firefox open 5.0 will give me the pop up window that states, "malicious url blocked"..(I will try and attach a pic for this).
Also a lot less now, but still an occasional redirect when I want to google certain websites..So of course I used another machine and have driven myself crazy trying to figure this thing out...so all I can come up with is a rootkit? virus? How can I get rid of this without reformating (not an option anywhere near the top of my list). I wanted to ask the experts because there are no less than 6 solutions on utube (using other programs)and who knows if those are any good...Thanks in advance.
machine is hp mini with xp home, sp3
