Our old buddy NoSpin has a problem. When he goes to wnff.net on his (new) computer, he gets the home index page. However, when he then makes a selection to go to one of the sections to peruse the posts, he's taken to various other sites, including a pictureso site. Needless to say, this had caused some concern! He also said he has a virus per his computer. Jim is not strongly computer savvy, so he has a computer fellow who will come around after his normal work hours for a fee. I thought, however, that maybe some of the techno mavens here might have a comment or workaround. Thanks.
What virus scan does he have? If he has norton, it should tell him which virus he has. If so you can look it up
http://www.symantec.com/norton/security_response/threatexplorer/azlisting.jsp and find removal instructions. I assume other AV products have the same or similiar setups. Installing and running Adaware or some other similiar program may help if his computer is just loaded with spyware. Its available at download.com Also, I would try installing Firefox or Opera.
