We have a second shift now and they play on my pc at night.. well till I lock it down now.. but anyways my home page always defaults to this page ( privacy violations 401 sec warning) telling me how Im under investigation by my isp and a list of keyowrds to sites I have visited and also lists my ip addy with my isp providers name..also says my computer is at high risk for further investigation.. .when clicking on a link on the page im redirected to evidence eliminator software home page.. my question is is this a boagus software sales attempt installed by some spyware or something or I shoudbe worried about before I begin ripping some ass which I will any ways...lol thanks.....
 
Had the same thing on a work PC that someone clicked on a pop-up that said the system was infected. I had preached and preached that the good stuff won't come in uninvited and scan your computer, and not to click anywhere but the upper right X. They clicked anyway becuase it "looked so official".
Run AdAware and it will name the thing for you, and say that it is getting rid of it, but it can't. Google the thing that it comes up with and with a teeny bit of searching you will find discussions on a removal tool for this. I had to download the removal tool and run it with the comp in safe mode. The discussion forum recommendations then said to run AdAware again and also another spyware remover called Ewido. Ewido is free but only for 45 days.
If you can't find the stuff I am talking about run the AdAware scan and post back with the name(s) of the non-cookie stuff it finds and I will see if I can find the info for you.
 
definitely spyware/adware


if it were your isp, they would have called or sent you a letter if it were that serious.
 
was thinking that but wasnt sure.. never seen that one before... after a run with hi jack this found the culptir.. thanks...
