IE browser issue: When I type in the letter "h" into browser Address window, a porn site a

- - - - -

My roommate used my computer and got it all virused up (not surprising, if u know him)

Anyway, I cleaned them all off--except I don't know how to get rid of what appears to be an extremely persistent virus. This site is really gross; advertising child porn or something like that. I don't want to write it out fully because don't want to advertise it, but it starts with "http://hardsite." and ends with ".to/".

I'm a relatively sophisticated user, so I've already tried alot of remedies:

- I've cleared the History, Cookies and Temp Internet files, both in IE and manually.

- I ran an array of anti-spyware programs:

+ SpyBot

+ AdWare

+ Yahoo AntiSpy

- I ran a full deep scan of Avast! AntiVirus.

These steps removed alot of junk, but this site still pops up.

I simply cannot find what is causing this problem to persist. Does anyone know what causes this horrible site to pop up every time I type in the letter "h"?

Thanks any help u can provide

Click on:

Tools - Internet Options - Security - Restricted Sites - Sites.

Add that website to your "banned" list.

Then, Google that web site, and find any ideas on the net on how to eliminate it permanently.

To prevent future viruses/worms, I use System Mechanic 7. It has a Registry cleaner/saver. If a virus/worm happens to invade my PC, after cleaning everything, I restore a saved Registry that I had pre-virus. It also has a great pop-up blocker.

if you ran them all and that still comes up i think you only have one thing left to do is just reformat the hard drive and install windows again. note you will lose everything so save one another hard drive or burn to a cd.

or

just keep on installing anti virus/spyware programs and keep at it.

Goodluck
It sounds like it's time to format your hard drive and to install Windows from scratch. To avoid this in the future, place password control on your system so that unauthorized people like your roommate can not use your computer. I can't think of anything better to do.

I'm sure that you know that your roomate visited all of these sites resulting in contamination of your system. Tell your roomate to purchase his own computer.
