Uh, today i was surfing all around the net, searching for photoshop tips and tricks, and then i went into a site, which automatically opened me a new site, and somehow, after i closed the site, i opened a new window, and it appeared as my homepage! then i thought it juz attached itself, so i changed the homepage back to blank. But the site still attached! Now, it even appears when i click "Choose default". Not good news, it has somehow become my default homepage! I have already restricted that site and even banned it under privacy settings, but all i get is "Active X.... not allowed to run...site" that line. What am i to do? That site is like, a little porno... and if you know how to read mandarin, (like me) it is damn porno! how do i remove that idiotic site! my friends are coming to my house on wed! help!!!!!!!

<site link removed>

Lol I have had this happen so many times, my dad got so mad. Well just run a spyware remover like ad-aware se,spybot s&d, and that new one from microsoft. Then you might also want ot try a virus remover like norton,avg,and avast.

2. Do a spyware sweep for the infestation
