Hi Greyknight,

I am not sure if this is the problem as I am using the computer in Vietnam. Everytime when I want to use yahoo (www.yahoo.com) and it will automatically direct me to the yahoo vietnam site (http://vn.yahoo.com/?p=us) and I didn't even key in the address with the vn extension. Do you think somehow it recognized that I am using the computer in Vietnam and it will direct me to the problem site? Thank you.

That other computer you have is in your house also right? Does it have this same problem?

Were you able to run the TrendMicro scan?

Hi Greyknight,

I have run MicroTrend and discovered 4 HTTP cookies and I also run F-secure online and discover a bit more.

I run F-secure twice and still have 5 malwares. I am using the same problem computer with Firefox but don't have this problem occur.

Do you think the add-on create this problem?

An add-on for Internet Explorer you mean? You can try disabling all the add-ons to see if it fixes the problem.

Hi Greyknight,

I have disable the add-ons for the IE and I have run the ATF cleaner and the problem still exit.
1. Some webpages address will either have a logo of a little guy or a letter G.
2. Some webpages will redirect me to another site.

Right click on this link http://www.mvps.org/.../DelDomains.inf and choose Save As. Save it to your desktop. Right click on that file and choose Install. It will run immediately (you won't be able to see anything happen). You may delete it afterwards. NOTE: This script will delete any sites you may have added to the Trusted Sites. So if you want them back, you have to add them back to the Trusted Sites again.

Download Hoster at http://www.greyknigh.../spy/Hoster.exe and run it. Click on Restore Original Hosts button and press OK. If you used a custom HOSTS file, you will need to restore the file back.

Then go to C:\Windows\Inf\ and right click on ie (or ie.inf) and choose Install to repair Internet Explorer.

Restart the computer and see if you still have that problem.

Hi Greyknight,

After I click ie.inf then a window called Files Needed open. Please kindly advise. Thanks.

The file 'IEXPLORE.EXE' on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3D is needed.
Type the path where the file is located and then click OK.

You will need to create a new Windows CD slipstreamed with SP3. This will come in handy in the future, so it's not for a one-time use only. See here on how to create this CD. Once you finish creating it, right click on that ie.inf file again and choose Install. Insert the CD after that and choose to browse to the CD to locate the file.
