A friend of mine has a little boy who likes to play Neopets and other kids games on the computer. Well every now and again he comes in crying because there is porn all over the computer, or nude people as he likes to say. (he is still at the age were girls are icky so to answer all the pervs question NO he is not looking at porn, YET. haha) Apparently this Gophersearch.com will change your start page and then it will pick up random porn sites to replace your start page.
This is my friends letter, to me, explaining it:
What happened (twice) is he must have been surfing on the net. He agreed to something I am sure he didn't understand what he was doing. Anyway, it downloaded a Trojan that changes the Start Page and Search Bar in the registry for MS Internet Explorer to gophersearch. com. Even when I manually change it back it changes it back.
What is does is bring up a random (adult) website when you start MS IE as your home page. One can go to their home page and run 5 programs that will remove the Trojan, which I have done twice now.
Can someone please help me with this problem? These guys are really spreading the fuck you attitude towards the industry and need to be destroyed.
So I thought I would see if someone on here, that is great at this stuff, could help me out. Someone like Smokey The Bear etc?.. I want to crush these guys.
