ok. i got onto the net today after work and find that i can't get anywhere normally. Whenever i type an address in the address bar it just takes me to some heretofind.com page that does nothing. I can't even get onto google. the only way i can get around is by finding links to pages. I've tried all my antivirus and spyware programs (AVG, Adaware, Spy sweeper) and it hasn't changed. I'm running out of ideas and i'd see if you guys'd know. All of my internet settings SEEM to be ok. dunno.

Sounds like you have been attacked........


Go to your control panel...(Click Start and then settings...)

Go to add and remove programs......

Go down the list and see if you can fint it in there.

Then remove it.....

After that go to you Interent options and change your homepage back to whatever you had it as...

Aussieveedubbers.com is a great hompage!

That crappy heretofind.com is what is known as a browser hijacker. In general this type of program makes a change in your Windows registry to the default web page prefix of http:// so that it directs you always to their website. If you do a search on "heretofind.com" through Google I'm sure you'll find many others who have experienced the same problem and they will have probably posted suggestions for a fix. Cheers..Scott

Download and run "ad-aware 6" by lavasoft or "spy sweeper" by webroot. They should remove all these programs.
