Hiya all, I have come accross a rather nasty browser hijacker in the last 24 hours which not only takes over your browser but will not let you set your home page back to what you want. when you type in websites to the address bar it just goes to what it wants which are some very nasty sites. it gets all it's stuff seemingly from jupk.whatever.
I have run all the spyware malware software in safemode and emptied temp files etc but this is a real bad one.
Basically it hijacks your dns server which means that you cant even get your e-mail through outlook/express.
After much searching, swearing and banging head against wall the solution is as follows.
Go to control panel
network connections
Then right click LAN, internet connections, properties.
then click in the box which says "obtain DNS server automatically"
Hey presto fixed.
