Something seems to have attached itself to my comp.
My computer is slow running, the internet keeps getting redirected, I can't get on to the sybot site, nor can I run Hijack this (it seems to either do nothing or crash when I try to install it).
Please help as this is really not helping with my work. What can I do?
Thank you very much.
