    is there a way to recover from browser hijacking?

    yep, i should've looked at the html code first. that would've saved me a lot of time and frustration. i just didn't want to believe that any webmaster would intentionally make their website seem like it's been infected with a malware.

    is there a way to recover from browser hijacking?

    finally figured out what the problem is! the website i'm visiting has a hidden adobe flash content on the home page. if you don't have adobe flash plugin installed, you will be directed to a page to install adobe flash. since that page is no longer maintained, you get a generic "buy this...

    is there a way to recover from browser hijacking?

    well...i don't want to infect my other pc's if it's somehow ip-related i guess the question is, can the malware be hiding in the memory circuit on either the video card, motherboard, or cpu cache? i refuse to believe that any malware can survive a hard drive re-partition.

    is there a way to recover from browser hijacking?

    as far as i can tell, the laptop and other pc's on the router don't seem to be infected. they browse correctly to the site. i re-partitioned and reformatted my hard drive again and reinstalled windows 7 from an old retail dvd rom while having the ethernet cord unplugged. i made sure not to plug...

    is there a way to recover from browser hijacking?

    as usual, adwcleaner and hitmanpro didn't find anything. safe mode didn't work but i was able to get to the site without issues on chrome. this is probably because i didn't have chrome installed on my pc at the time of the infection. i even tried reinstalling firefox but to no avail. at this...

    intel core i5 7600 cooling

    one thing i want to add is i used to have an asus cpu cooler with heat pipes and aluminum fins. the fan is nested in an opening between the aluminum fins. this design worked really well for me because the fan is shielded from wires that might come in contact with the fan blades. this is what i...

    clarification on motherboard cpu support

    i have a msi mobo that need to have the bios updated in order to be compatible with the intel kabylake cpu. i'm wondering if this compatibility update just allows me to run the cpu on this mobo only or does it do more than that and make all the kabylake features available to the mobo, know what...

    intel core i5 7600 cooling

    awesome!! (y) that's why intel is the cpu market leader! so if you can only have one case fan, where would you put it to get the most cooling benefits, in the front or the back, probably not the side tho right?
