Undesired sites

[Jomapil]

I don't know what I did but there are 2 or 3 days ago I'm being importuned with sites such as

http://argentbux.... http://abhsoft... http://radio-dj... http://trahwija.... http://winmoney... http://safearena...
and so on.

What must I do to eliminate these intrusions without to format or reinstall the Windows XP?


Thank you for your help.

first see if your computer has been infected with spyware/malware. malwarebytes, adaware, trojanhunter and other scanners should find most junk.

and start using firefox,and stop browsing porno/poker sites
be sure to turn system restore off before you run malwarebytes

Restart your machine in safe mode (press F8 ) before you run the anti-spyware app to really kill the infection.

I had one a while back where that didn't work. Not by itself, anyway. I had to both disconnect from the internet as well as start in safe mode to finally get rid of it. minidv2dvd's suggestion of Malwarebytes is a good one. That's what finally got rid of it for me. You don't need the paid version:

Before nulling the infection you should disable system restore, otherwise re-infestation could take place ... re-enable after cleanup.

Thank you to everyone that answered me and helped me.

But, Bjs, how can I disable system restore and re-enable after the cleaning?

Cheers.


P.S. - By the way, AVG ended its scanning and the results ( Infected, warnings, etc.) were all 0.

Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Restore->System Restore Settings.

That's on XP. Dunno if it's different for others.

Thank you, Manono.

Dont visit Poker sites ... I know people who did ... dumb

Porno site ... ha ha ... I have two favorite sites ... send me a PM message if you interested.

I dont want the way they do things at these two sites to change ... they are great ... so I wont mention them here.

Most likely against the rules anyways. I use to have two yellow pillows above my avatar for almost a year

Try Malwarebytes .... works for me ... very nice program ... works really good ... trial version works wonders

Thanks to everyone.

I solved the problem.

I suggest also running http://www.superantispyware.com/index.html it will find things that MBAM doesn't and vice cersa.

It also has a lot of handy tools in the repair tab under preferences.
