Ok, this has got me really annoyed. It started tonight, and the problem that everytime I click a URL on a website that links to another site, it freezes IE. I have to right-click close to get around it. I downloaded Ad-Aware and ran it, been finding things here and there, something even changed my default home page.

What's up with this and how do I fix it?

 

Try getting Spybot also. Sometimes that gets some things that AdAware misses.

 

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...-0.7-win32.zip

unzip the folder to anywhere and run firebird....i have adaware, spybot, googletoolbar and AVG antivirus....IE still acts ghey in some places.....just try it for a night if you havent already

 

I've also got this program that seems to be running now called pup. This is getting really annoying. Out of nowhere the default home page keeps changing to some search engine!

 

My homepage always changes to some search engine also. I can't figure out the problem either so :dunno:

 

homepage changine to a search engine is classic Ad/spyware.
