Basically I have four items in my favourites that shouldn't be there. The ubiquitous 'Seven days of free [bleep]', 'Only sex website', 'Search the web' and a folder called 'Sites about' full of typical spam.
Every time I load up Explorer, the task bar reverts to about: blank and my AVG keeps alerting me to all sorts of Trojans, which are installing themselves on my computer. I've disabled it for the sake of this exercise.
I've tried everything and I'm desperate for help. Could any kind soul take the time to point in the right direction? And, for the sake of interest, how does all this auto-downloading spyware work? Is this legal? What measures are being taken to eliminate the problem? Why hasn't some happy-go-lucky hacker made meals out of these gits? Thanks for your time.
