toblerone Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi Anyone encoutered this problem that if you click on any torrent site, the address bar just shows this "http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?36890" and doesn't respond anymore........ I tried re-installing and still the same. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 This sounds like you might have a browser hijacker present (spyware/malware). Some of these are quite hard to remove. Here are the programs I use (I use all of them, one at a time to clean an infected computer) 1st, run a good antivirus with latest updates. My favorites are Kaspersky and McAfee. Then I run Spybot search and destroy, then Ad Aware (be careful for sound alikes). Both of these are free. I have found that xoft anti spy is the best at removing hijacked browers. This one isn't free, but is availble on most major torrent sites. HiJack this, is also a good one, but not for a novice. Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toblerone Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thanks for your reply! I will try what you suggested. By the way, why is i that this spyware/malware only affects my bitcomet but not internet explorer? Does it specifically target only bittorrent programs?
