snograt

Been a while since I popped in here. This article makes me wonder if they will include Lavasoft’s latest browser hijack, aka Web Companion. Supposedly makes browsing more secure, but changes the default homepage to Bing. Didn’t Lavasoft use to be the good guys?

IPB? Hmm... Not over fond of WYSIWYG editing - as an option, sure.

Thanks Tazza - yep, Vista x64. Hmm, I ran that JavaRa before HJT and it reports I have the latest version. Maybe I need to fall back to the Sun website :/

Followed all the cleanup instructions to the letter. My install of NOD32 fails to run in safe mode, used the online scanner but gave up after 2 hours and 50%. Think I have way too much crap building up on my system (I tend to hang on to .zips etc., even when they've been deflated and installed ) Anyway, I suspect this is clean, but any comments welcomed.
