Hi everyone,
I'm trying to clean out some unauthorize crap that "Hijacking" my start and
default page in Internet Explorer 5.5.
What this malware does is set my start and default page to:
C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
In an effort to get rid of this, I went through my registry and change ever
setting that references secure.html to about:blank but that didn't work. Ever
time I started IE, the start and default pages were changed back to
secure.html. I don't really know how to get rid of this annoying malware so I
tried google.
On google I discovered there's a freeware program called HijackThis that gets
rid of this nuisance but, for some reason which I still don't know, I can't
download this software.
Whenever I try to download this software, and I've tried using Mozilla and IE,
I get a connection refused or Page can't be displayed message. I wonder if
this malware is preventing me from downloading this freeware.
So, I'm wondering if anyone's has already downloaded this software and knows
if it works as advertised. Also, I wonder if this software works if someone
would be kind enough to email it to me.
Thanks very much in advanced, John
