IE automatically closes Spybot's homepage - GoFuckYourself.com

eiht_98 · 08-19-2004, 09:41 AM

I just got a friend's laptop here to test it a little. I decided to run a virus check before doing anything with the laptop.
Whenever I try to access the Spybot's Search & Destroy homepage to download their software the IE automatically closes that page. Any ideas why?

eiht_98 · 08-19-2004, 09:48 AM

and you know what is very strange....I checked this topic on the laptop and IE closes the window again....

eiht_98 · 08-19-2004, 09:48 AM

I also tried to download the software from my server and when the transfer was completed it said that the file can't be saved on the hard disk....wtf is this.....

Sounds like spyware.

Something new. My guess would be a spyware maker added to his program to not let you get anything to take him out.

Project-Shadow · 08-19-2004, 09:55 AM

I'm guessing it deletes anything/everything that has the name spybot in it. Try renaming the file and see if that works.

I suggest that you download the Mozilla FireFox browser and use it to download your software.

make sure you get all the windows recommended updates. Scanning for spyware is sometimes not enough

Definitely sounds like some spyware is in control there. Thats typical behavior these days..

eiht_98 · 08-19-2004, 10:35 AM

fuck it...how do I remove this shit

Stramm · 08-19-2004, 10:39 AM

open task manager... check for strange running processes and end them. If you're not sure if a task is either eg. a mousedriver or spyware then ask google. When you end the spyware process you can access all websites again and download anti spyware tools.

tried that and it doesn't work

monro · 08-19-2004, 11:21 AM

If you are using XP just go back to an old backup. /system map/

After that install Firefox!

freeadultcontent · 08-19-2004, 11:25 AM

Install and run it off of floppies or a burnt cd done from a safe pc.

Then you haven't closed all spyware tasks. Be aware they hide very good. Like some spyware is listed as scvhost.exe while a win system process is called svchost.exe. Just try to shut down everything and double check the remaining stuff.
If it doesn't help have a look at your services too

mookienow · 08-19-2004, 12:15 PM

on xp it should be listed as a service...
look in regedit under
Hkey local machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run for anything running with a switch...

RicardoB · 08-19-2004, 12:34 PM

Step one press ctrl - alt - del

Step two kill every process you do not need to run explorer or Msie

Step 3 download ya killer

Step 4 install and use.

Usualy works for me.
