Ok im on the internet on my desktop wjich is setting right next to me and my old home page was www.google.com/ig and now its www.example.net/some/place/. oes that help ya out any?
Well, the last thing sounds like a browser hijack. I assume that even when you change the default page in "Tools - Internet Options" (if using IE), it changes right back after the program restarts? There are tons of malware programs that do this unfortunately, so picking one is like a needle in a haystack hunt without names.


A couple ?s

1. What antivirus do you have? What are the virus data definitions date?
2. What anti-spyware program are you using? What is the spyware data definitions date?

These programs are only as good as the most current updates.

Once they are both updated the most current, then run scans on your system. Write down what the infections are (the names of the Viruses / Trojans / Malware / Spyware / etc.) -- this information is necessary to help clean out the systems.

If you can add that information here, that would be great
