I have responded to each suggestion :)
1. If you have Windows Messenger Service, disable it. The
Messenger service
is typically not needed for home users.
Right-click My Computer and click Manage.
Click Services and Applications.
Click Services.
Scroll down to Messenger and right-click.
Stop the Service.
Choose Disable as the Startup Type.
Click OK
This I did months ago
2. Use the following scanners to find and remove the
website.
SpyBot S&D searches your harddisk for so-called spy- or
adbots;
http://security.kolla.de/
or
Adaware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
or
CoolWebShredder
http://www.spychecker.com/program/coolwebshredder.html
3. Some porn websites redirects links to their websites
using your HOSTS
file. Do a search for the HOSTS (without extension) file
and remove the
entry.
Do not know which to remove!!!!
4. If still no joy, download HijackThis from Spywareinfo
download page
http://www.spywareinfo.com/program/hijackthis.html
Run the program and you will find many entries. Most are
OK. Post the log. I
will find the problem for you.
This page will not load
5. For future preventive maintenance, make sure programs
cannot just
download on your computer without your permission. From
the Internet
Toolbar, go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Make
sure "Enable
Install On Demand (Internet Explorer)" and "Enable Install
On Demand
(Other)" are unchecked.
