So how did I get infected in the first place?
Stand Up and Be Counted ! (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info/index.php)
The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.
Stay clean and be safe ;)
Thanks Mr JAK , i already have and use most of the above programmes you suggested and i've been using the host files for about six months . I have a question about the host files if i may . whats the best way i can check if the host file's are working ?(i use firefox):)
You're very welcome :)
If you have installed the hosts correctly, it is working.
There are tools that shows the contents of a hosts file.
Spybot S&D has this feature.
Make sure that Spybot is running in advanced mode.
Go to Tools -> Hosts file
You should now see the entries that your hostsfile includes.
:bigthumb:
Got it . Mr JAK thanks again for your help and expertise .:2thumb: :beerbeerb:
