Cool tips, Enyo. Thanks.
Hey, I thought I'd hijack this thread and ask a somewhat related question. If you don't mind.
-I caught a bug today which keeps setting my IE (6.0) homepage back to
ok-search.com, as well as adding a list of links to my Favorites folder. All the links are in bold, and are titled
CHAT EVA,
CHAT CINDY,
CHAT.... All but one that appeared to be some porn sex engine.
I scanned with Norton 2003, Ad-Aware and Spybot, all updated, and found nothing.
Is it possible that simply viewing the pages, while deleting the links, kept causing it to happen over again ?
-Since there seemed to be no virus or bug, I figured it could be that...
I started IE while blocking access through ZA, deleted the links and changed my homepage back to google. Then restarted with access.
It seems fine now...
(Weirdest thing is I haven't been to porn sites lately. Well, not since reinstalling...
)
PS- I'M getting tired of this : 2 days ago, after a bug-free run of several years, I tried to run a little something that managed to disable my entire XP installation, even rendering reparation from the installation cd inoperable.
Now this, right when I'm finished formatting and reinstalling all my software.
