I can hardly go to any links without being hijacked to a page named "about
blank".
where if I click cancel it takes me me to a site at:
http://checksystem-online.com/id/4912933/4/1 where it attempts to shove a
scan onto me, then claim their software TOTALSECURE2009 is the solution to
solve my problem. It seems to affect mostly my google searches and sites I
go to on a regular basis. I have tried to connect to a well known website,
one I have not been to, and my computer went there.
At the named site, it wont let me cancle or X out. I can let the scan start,
go to windows
task master and delete the run, but the site I wanted to go to is lost. All
it has is
a button is cancel, X and OK. They don't function as you would think.
After a search of the internet on a different computer [using google on my
infected computer triggers me into the problem cited above] I found some
software called XoftSpySE for $39.90 which claims to solve that problem. I
have ran it several times as well as RegCure from the same company as well
as the free AVI scan and ad-aware6..
Nothing in error is found in those scans as of now as they show all the bad
stuff was cleared, but I still have the problem.
I have emailed the techs at paretologic.com, the company for XoftSpySE and
they have requested I send them the log files of the results of using their
XoftSpySE.
Any suggestions will be appreciated as I can hardly use anything but email
on this
XP computer.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
