Send an email to the person's webhost.

Gimmie the url and I'll find out...

 

[Jeslek]

err then why click yes to install something...? There is a reason why IE pops up a Security warning window (I am now assuming it did?)

You got one of them filters on your ass too?

OMG! That was funny.

 

[Q]

I DIDN'T click yes to anything you sniveling whining closet freak

 

[Jeslek]

Prof, the uninstall tool didn't work...now what?

You might want to try Adaware. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

It will scan your computer and get rid of all spyware and other nasties.

I have a question. How could it just install something and change your home page? Don't you have to click YES and I AGREE or something?

Nope, there's ways around it. I've had my homepage changed without notice.

I've even seen the default search page changed on someone else's computer.

Well in that case, I would suggest you download and use the Proxomitron: http://www.proxomitron.org/

It acts like a proxy server and will filter out all offensive Javascript, remove annoying Javascript, remove all banners, ads, popups, and other annoying stuff, remove cache control crap, and so on. 99% of websites work fine with it, and in the case of one that doesn't, you can easily right click and bypass for that website.

Ooch...man you folks are rough. I take it I need to thicken my skin in order to survive. You folks don't really all hate each other do ya?

Nah, on Sundays we all sit down to dinner together, they just won't let us use silverware anymore since the "Incedent."

ACCIDENT...it was an accident

 

[PostCode]

Open the registry (from the Start menu, click Run and enter regedit) and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\Run. Delete the 'XupiterStartup' entry in the Right Hand pane.

Also delete the following Registry Keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xupiter
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\{A27CFCAE-9351-4D74-BFFC-21EB19693D8C}

Reboot, and delete the entire Program Files\Xupiter directory.

You're also likely to have a Xupiter ActiveX object in your Downloaded Program Files folder. Find that one, rightclick it, and choose properties. It has the following ID: {A27CFCAE-9351-4D74-BFFC-21EB19693D8C}

Now rightclick the file, and choose delete.

Next, delete the Xupiter folder in Program Files.

Finally, go to Internet Options/Programs, and hit "Reset Web Settings".

ACCIDENT...it was an accident

A butter knife that grazed the skin is an accident, a butter knife that is embedded to the point that pliers are needed to remove it is an incedent. It is true though that they were never able to prove anything.

I love you Posty

I know all about Proximitron, but that has little to do with whether links to pages that alter your settings should be posted.
