Lieasha: go to webroot.com and download the free version of Spy Sweeper. It will scan for spyware and viruses. Also get to your "cookies" and delete those that reference the sites you DON'T want - including the porn. You can also delete the sites in your "History". Additinally, Microsoft has a program "Windows Defender" that also scans for viruses. Contact me if you need more help.

what operating system are they both running? has it worked before? Were there any recent system changes? I'm thinking it might be a difference in the configuration and all...but I'm not really sure. I need more information to determine the problem.\n\nactually...if it's only certain webpages and all and you've already been there before...it might very well be that those pages are cached (temporarily stored on your hard drive), in that instance...instead of going online to the page, it simply loads from your hard drive instead.\n\ndo a virus scan. also check your firewall settings on that computer. hope that helps

I'm using a free software called AD Aware which scans for spyware/adware and and enables me to delete them. It's suppose to be the best. So I'm not afraid of such software anymore.  \n  Only thing is, I'm not sure if AD Aware scans itself. Just joking !

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who finds that everything related to Yahoo is running slow in the past week or so.   I have broadband and Windows XP Prof.  For sure I don't use Nortons or Mcafee as they are junk.    \n\nI use Avast an until this past week I have had quick response.  Now I notice that Yahoo has slowed down.   I even removed their security device, at the bottom of your tray when you are in IE, there is a white squire box with a round yellow ball an "!", Closed the phishing device as I don't shop or bank on line, so I don't need Yahoo to scan each webpage before it opens to see if the page is rogue.    Made some difference in speed, still slow in my opinion.\n\nMust be Yahoo Servers, as I can think of nothing else. \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France\n\nExcuse my english

That happened to me once. It didn't look like porn, but some searches that I never made ended up in my IE address history. I live alone so I know that I didn't make them. I would search for viruses, spy ware, whatever. There are a lot of people out there who have nothing better to do than to mess with your sh*t. Sometimes they succeed.

Before we get THAT far, why aren't you using antivirus or staying away from these places that give you viruses and spyware?\n\nIt's like smoking and wondering why you have cancer all of the sudden.

I think you are still infected, that's why it popup everytime. Do not click on that link to download their anti-spyware, it is actually a  spyware of itself.\n\nTry McAfee Spyware or Notron AntiVirus (buildin Spyware protection), they are the best I have tried so far.

It is a virus. It comes with an attachment that tells you to look at the full text by clicking on the attachment? You click it and you don't have a good antivirus program that stripped the virus and you will get it. Just delete the email and eventually who ever has the virus will find out and fix his/her computer. I had the same problem for several days and recieved probably 50-100 emails telling me everything from free sex to my long lost buddy found me.

Hi,\n\nUnfortunately I can only see this getting worse for people using the current popular pc security products (Norton, McAfee, AVG, Lavasoft, etc).  There has recently been a severe outbreak of a new type of malware that is constantly evolving and leading security vendors are struggling to deal with.\n\nI've been using a relatively new product called Prevx1 for the last 9 months now and have not been infected by a single piece of malware since.  This is because they use a completely new method of protection compared to other security products that is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware than all leading security vendors.\n\nI would strongly recommend you give this program a try if you wish to stop being infected.  They are currently offering a 28 Day Free Trial of their product which you can read more infomation about and/or download here:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

Hi there,\n\nWithout knowing exactly what virus you are infected with it is difficult to give specific advice.\n\nHowever, one all-in-one solution I would recommend you try to clean-up this mess is a program called Prevx1. This is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware (virii, spyware, adware, trojans, etc) than all leading security programs. They have also recently released an updated version which is reported as now being the most capable removal utility available ANYWHERE as well as continuing to protect you from being infected again in the future.\n\nYou can read more about prevx1 and/or download a free trial of the program from here:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

This happens several years ago, I was on the net for all of a day or two as this way my first time on the net. I'm not gay but the following story was funny but embarrassing. As I know now, with all the pop-ups you want to be careful what corner boxes you pushing. Well some how I got stuck on this gay porn site & couldn't exit out. So I shut down the computer & called Earthlink help line. The guy kept asking me what site did I get stuck on? I kept telling him I was somewhere I didn't want to be. He kept poking and proding and finally I blurted out, "OK I was stuck on a gay porn sight". He just started laughing and laughing, then he says "OK turn your computer back on, you should be fine now".\nI didn't know by turning the computer off, it cancelled everything.

It sounds like her messenger has malware or a virus in it. Have her/him go get Ad Aware SE Personal \nFor Spyware and Malware:\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php\n\nMake sure her virus protection is updated and turned on. If she does not have one then here are two good ones for her. Use only ONE though (along with the Ad Aware SE Personal)as two anti-virus's can conflict with each other.\nhttp://www.avast.com/\nor\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2

Ok, guys, I just received the same notice from someone on my buddy list.  Since I don't just blindly accept it when someone tells me about a virus or any such stuff (Have been burned by believing that before!!!) I decided to do some checking on the net.  On the trendmicro website I found some information stating that the j_neutron07 "virus" is just a hoax.  Nothing on snopes.com just yet either way. As always, the choose is yours as to whether you want to believe or not, just be informed before you decide!!!
