Hey, I went on this morning on my computer and my little brother restored my computer (to default settings), and i saw that my homepage was on agoga.com. I tried to change it like a thousand times, but nothing. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you've got a nice little spyware infection Get Spybot-Search & Destroy, update it, run it and repeat after me: I will not visit dodgy sites which feature t3h pr0n
Another great one - that is also free for personal use is: Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php Get the SE version that is free. On their site or download.com You can set it to automatically download updates so that you run your virus/malware checks with all the latest definitions. It often catches what others don't. and... blaming your little bro for your pr0n habit is... well.... pathetic.
These type of Malware norally add files to the Root of your System drive. Have a look there and identify any files which shouldn't be there. These are normally .EXE files. There is also a nifty little utility called 'Malwhere', which idetifies running processes and the likelyhodd of them being malicious. And remember, any files you delete, etc... make sure they aren't required system files. Hope this helps.
agoga are basically domain/typo squatters. They recently bought up almost all of the Cameroon domain space (.cm) as they could, and redirect those to their site. Check your homepage link in the browser settings, chances are you have a typo ending in .cm
well, i think i found out what the culprit was. i installed Zone Alarm, and once i took it off, it was normal. And, no, i didn't have any errors for the domain. Thnx anyways.
