Hey, I'm not exactly allowed to give out information here but I plan on commenting on it... This is the 2nd forum I read about the same problem... And well the reason I've been looking into it, is that I have it as well, just wondering how to fix it - And so far it seems its not working for you.. or even the other guy. So I don't think I'm going to try it.. Oh, also, was the "Google" website you were getting... Http://www.google.com/webhp? That's the one I'm having as well as the one in the other forum. I as well am also having constant pop ups from other sites - So I don't believe its from the program you got from your friend as I have not DL'd any programs lately. Previous to this problem I aquired a malware virus - Antivirus Pro - Which I so recently detected and deleted with several diffrent programs, including Hijack this, AVG, MBAM, and Spybot S&D. So anyways to the point, if you find a solution that actually works and can get rid of the virus fast, I'd really appreciate if you would tell me. Thanks Regards, Sam
