Apparently everytime i enter a URL that isnt valid, it sends me to this PerfectNav page..... kinda irritating i'd say. Any idea how to remove it ? websterworld 03-30-2004, 12:09 PM You have spyware! :stickout: run spybot and adaware... also, you might want to check this out: www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ :cool: ToOnZ - SGWHT.com 03-30-2004, 12:28 PM Haha... ok ill use my other browser - Opera then.... damn i think its because of Kazaa.... :angry: amusive.com 03-30-2004, 01:35 PM It probably is because of Kazaa. Get adaware, uninstall kazaa. madmouser 03-30-2004, 01:56 PM I just spent the weekend getting rid of spyware and adware. Even though I'm careful, it sneaks in. I don't understand why this stuff is legal. It's not that different from a virus. There is excellent information on how to get rid of this junk and keep it away here: http://computercops.biz Vile 03-30-2004, 01:59 PM Originally posted by websterworld You have spyware! :stickout: run spybot and adaware... also, you might want to check this out: www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ :cool: Lol, as if spyware has anything to do with IE or FireFox.. If people would learn general maintenance, and how to take care of their own systems, this type of stuff would not happen. It's user error, not an "irritating IE thing" as the thread title suggests. amusive.com 03-30-2004, 02:15 PM People could easily make spyware attack firefox or any other mozilla based browser... Which makes me wonder why they don't. Oh, that's right, 95% of the internet uses IE. websterworld 03-30-2004, 02:32 PM Originally posted by amusive.com People could easily make spyware attack firefox or any other mozilla based browser...

Oh, that's right, 95% of the internet uses IE. 500,000 people look for a diffrent browser each day. :stickout: Kimmikat 03-30-2004, 04:22 PM I had a friend's computer get "hi-jacked" and ran "Hi-Jack This" to remove it. But I did a twist. Instead of deleting the line in the registry that had the url to the hi-jacker's site, I simply place a normal home page url (like www.cnn.com) in there. Keeps you messing up the home page setting by accidently hitting "Use Current" button when you meant to hit another one.
