Herbus the Slurbus more than likely has a Trojan worm that is redirecting him to other nefarious sites. No "free" anti-malware mumbo-jumbo is going to remove it other than a clean reinstall. 


Marla's quite correct in this opinion. Nothing has worked.

And so .... I'm taking the plunge.

My guess? It'll all go wrong when I try to recover my backup from the extension Hard Drive, and then I'll be forking out at least $100 down at the PC Shop.

Fixed it, but a lot of work that I could have done without.

get a PROPER antivirus like Norton or McAfee.  something that updates daily and actually works. Plus layoff the porn sites which is where they all come from.
