In your post "help needed greatly!!!!" the link contained SPYWARE and X-rated sites. The post had to be removed since I can't edit it.

Here's the relevant content:
"Whenever I search for anything pharmacy on my computer(google, yahoo, etc) its comes up with a japanese porn site! the url is http://abadsite...

any help or info on how to solve this problem would be great! thanks!!"

SPYWARE and Web Page Hijacking is discussed daily in the Virus forum at http://reviews.cnet.com/5204-6132-0.html?forumID=32&start=0

A beginning toolset of Anti Parasite (Spyware and more) tools is noted at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&messageID=15002

Best of luck in eradicating the pest.

Bob
