Computer question for the dorks (ie Crawfish).....

[Stanley1]

My home computer has this problem. Everytime I try to type in a new web address into the browser, it'll go to that website, then give me an error message and shut down all of my open browsers.

I tried to do a system restore, but it won't restore any of my previous versions. I ran a bunch of antivirus and spyware removers, and that didnt work.

I'm pretty sure its a virus, right? Anything else I can do? Anybody else had this happen?

[ChickSoonerFan]

Don't go to any new websites...stick with what you got.


YWIA


:D

I have no idea.

Because I'm not a dork like crawfish.

I'm an entirely different kind of dork.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

what kind of antivirus you running?

[crawfish]

What browser do you use?

Honestly, it sounds less like a virus and more like some corruption in the file system. Try clearing your cache, history and cookies. If that doesn't work and you're not using IE, try to uninstall/reinstall the browser. If you ARE using IE, USE A DIFFERENT BROWSER (Firefox).

I'm sure if he has trouble with vending machines he'll come to you first. ;)

Sounds like a virus, or your browser has been hijacked.

Using IE?

[Stanley1]

Yes, I use IE. No, I'm not switching to another one.

I'll try cleaning out the cache, that may work.

[Howzit]

Using IE?

That's code for Internet Explorer, Stan.

Sounds like either spyware gone bad or a LSP stack issue. Do a search for "LSP fix", read about it and see if that describes your problems. It's an easy fix if that's what is causing it.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

sounds like the flex capacitor to me

I think it's a problem with your johnson rod.

[Howzit]

I think it's a problem with your johnson rod.

No, you're thinking of his rotator cuff.

[yermom]

Yes, I use IE. No, I'm not switching to another one.

you are doomed ;)

[Stanley1]

I can assure you Norm, there is NO problemo with my rod, johnson or otherwise.

crawfish is a dorK?

I had no idea.
Funny how you think you know someone and then.............

That fixed it. That is why you'll always be my computer nerd Crawfish. Always. :D

Thanks.

[BeetDigger]

Now that you have fixed it, you need to get better virus and spam protection if you are going to surf the pron sites.

Yes, I use IE. No, I'm not switching to another one.


i don't think crawfish is the dork in this thread.............
