Hull Breach, Captain!
<div class="IPBDescription">or, SPYBOTS!!!oneone</div> When I booted up my computer today, I noticed that when I type in adresses into my adress bar (in IE) It will take me to a Lycos Search Page. (I.E. www.natural-selection.org gives me a lycos search page for natur al selection.) I'm thinkin' Spyware. Going to do a Spybot scan now, any other suggestions for how to get this blight off of my compeh?
EDIT: Apparently I got a lot of crud on my computer today (read: my mom signed up for one of those "get paid to surf the internet!" things.) Spybot is slowly working it's way through destroying this evil bit by bit. This is Spybot--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> spam.

Thats what I do about once or twice a month.
Plus, helps keep unused files away. However, if it is a family computer, I suggest you don't do it.
