IISRMII Posted February 18, 2012 ID:528228 Share Posted February 18, 2012 hi, recently my laptop has decided to set http://isearch.whitesmoke.com/?isid=9860/ to my homepage, i tried to change it but it goes back, having read about the whitesmoke virus, i'm confused, as there seems to be nothing else on my laptop that other people have got as a result of the virus such as the icons on the desktop .etc. was wondering if anyone could help me get rid of this, as my anti-virus searches have detected nothing, cheers, sam.
