Problem...

[Oliver]

Ok I have this weird problem.

Words like "work, job" etc are links in my browser to some page where I could get a job.

It started about 2 days ago.

It's even in Mega-Tokyo and EVEN in this post.

How can I get rid of this?!?!??! :-[ :-\ :'( >:( ???

Ad-aware prolly does the trick.

adware, gator and all those lovely things

you have been trojaned! (well automatically installed something from a web page).

Or with some program... People want to earn money by inserting adware in their programs.

I also recommend the application Ad-Aware. Back when I was running MS 98, I ran it and found, oh, about 200+ adware, spyware trojans chilling out on my computer. Often, one spyware would have spawned itself multiple times.

Ad-Aware killed them all.

One question, though, is why the makers of spyware programs aren't prosecuted, as it is truly unaccepted trojan horsing of one's software, and is almost like a virus?
