Computer Help

Postby Ben on Sat Aug 16, 2008 1:56 pm

When I open internet explorer it goes to my home page and then to a website that my McAfee is giving a warning message about:
gremit.com/syncfg.php may cause a breach of browser security.
Why were you redirected to this page? When we tested, this site attempted to make unauthorized changes to our test PC by exploiting a browser security vulnerability. This is a serious security threat which could lead to an infection of your PC.


I scanned for viruses and such and it quarenteened one thing but it didn't fix the problem.

Also, I tried installing firefix and it won't run. I have the icons and but when I click on them nothing happens.

Any ideas? ???

Sounds like you got some spyware/adware...

Thanks Bro! I had to do a system restore and delete firefox manually and reinstall it. It wouldn't respond in the add/remove programs either. I think its squared away now though.
