XP SR 2. Just reinstalled because of spyware / virus progs.
(Compaq Presario recover with format.)
Still have issues with redirect when searching or putting links in address bar.
Some sites redirected to are findstuff.com, icityfind.com, myyearbook.com, etc.
Searching for solutions I found combofix.exe. Any opinions on this?
Or does anyone have a better solution / idea to get this software off computer?
I'd appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks.
