there was a Virus that attacked firefox a while back and put adult websites as the homepage and ect. It also gave you annoying pop-ups with adult content on them. Then it ate away at your hard drive finally ending in the result of your computer starting up saying that there's no OS on your computer..

Demonhale, what do thsoe programs (specifically CWshredder and hijack blaster) do?

demonhale — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 01:35:08 +0000

use as much tools for checking your PC from malicious programs, yes do scan regularly with Spybot, AdAware Pro, Virus check with updated VS, also use CWshredder, and Hijack Blaster...

I tried to un-install and re-install a few times already but to no avail..
I will try to use spybot. because actually the system is running quite slow.
And when I scroll down, it won't scroll down the screen smoothly..
Does that gotta do with spyware or the RAM? I dare not do anything yet to avoid any misery to my data..

New tabs can redirect to the homepage, it just depends on your settings.

But yes, a reinstall sometimes works, don't forget your bookmarks though.

But new tabs dont re-direct to the home page.

I just try to un-install and re-install. Remember to save your bookmarks

Whats your homepage set to?
Some spyware can change your homepage. Spy bot (search and destory) and/or adaware should be run as well as anti virus

that's the sad part.
I am using norton antivirus. and it's not helping me to detect anything that makes my firefox go haywire.

Are you using Windows? If so, try scanning for viruses.
