does anybody know what that is?

Have you had it just appear out of nowhere as your homepage on your computer?

[Curious]

razzle, you need to run all your spyware and adware programs. even your anti virus. sounds like you got something. i'll be back on later and i will check a website that lists these spoof type of "things" worms, spyware...that can get in your computer.

Thanks, curious.
I didn't want to say too much until I knew more, but there are two Trojans in particular that I was wondering about that were around a few years back.

W32/Vote-A

Type

* Worm

Aliases

* W32/Vote@MM
* W32.Vote.A@mm
* WTC

Vote.A redirects the start page of Internet Explorer to a particular yahoofs address and does a number of other things.

There's also a Vote-B.
Hopefully razzle will come back soon and tell us what's going on. I'll check in from time to time today when I can.

when I go to my yahoo groups , this pops up guigrp.yahoofs and it says do you want to go in yes or no . I have been coming to these groups forever.

I have run all my spy ware , PC just got out of the shop a week ago.

[Jomar]

[razzle51]

i'll check into that - thanks.

I've been having issues with my own computer- so I sympathize will all of you!

I had to reinstall XP about 5 times , reformat part of the hard drive, plus I was trying to get a wireless card to work with my dual boot OS of Linux on the second harddrive - so I feel like I was going in circles for about 2 weeks.
