Well it had to happen sooner or later: my browser got hijacked. I’m not sure if it happened at the LAN party I was at for work this weekend, or on some web page I hit today, but I can’t seem to get rid of it. “It” is the following:
-
– Some sort of redirect that takes over the browser window whenever I hit a dead link
– An aggressive search engine that pops in whenever a web page has an error of any kind
– A constantly accessing the network item in the background
Worse, I can’t kill it. IE doesn’t seem to have the ability to clean itself and Google Toolbar can’t re-assert control. I’m stuck and this laptop is getting really, really slow because of it all. Guess there’s a HD format in my near future. Sucks to be me.
