wtf, this sucks
 

I have some shit on my computer where it's fucking me up when i visit a bunch of popular sites.. news.com ..amazon.com and a whole shitload of other sites. My computer loads pages slow, half broken images.. etc. There are several other computers on this network that don't have this problem. So wtf kinda bs spyware or something is messing with my computer? Any ideas?

my roomate had the same problem, he tried reformatting but it wouldnt let him, he tried re-installing windows it wouldnt let him.

i finally had to hook the drive up to another system and low level format it to get rid of whatever it was causing problems. i dont know if its the same thing.. but it was basically doing the same ting you just described

all i know is i get a playboy add on my 404's now

format c:\

damn, i don't want to have to do that :-\

haha me too.

try checking your hosts file .. it may have been changed by something like kazaa lite...

%windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

I'm running XP

a combo of Spybot and WindowsBlinds HELPED . . .

That's what I thought it originally was because I think this started happening after I installed Kazaa Lite, but the hosts file is clean.

bump

Just throw you comp out the window and get a new one! :1orglaugh

It wouldn't let him format? Not even when he booted from a floppy? (which would be rather odd, honestly)

yup thats what i thought, still to this day have no idea what it was, we even fdisked the drive, everything u can think of before low level formatting.. but nomatter what we either couldnt get windows installed or when we did it just came back

I think my computer has SARS.

Fucked big time... :helpme

I had the same problem until I downloaded this free application called Adaware. http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/

I run it about once a month and have not had a problem since.

You can thank me later :1orglaugh

I've known of Adaware but haven't run it on this computer. Just downloaded it and gave it a run. Found some data-mining cookies but didn't seem to have fixed the problem. :(
