After browsing some sites, suddenly everytime I connect to internet my username and dial number changed to some foreign country numbers. I can change it back, but next time I make connection that foreign username and password appears again. I already go to internet option and set everything but no effect. Already scan with updated AVG and Ad Aware and found nothing. How can I fix this problem? FYI Im using Win XP. Tks.
Might want to try downloading and scanning with Spybot S&D… it finds a lot of stuff that AdAware misses. It’s a good idea to scan with both of those programs, they work well together.
Tks amy. I already scanned and remove some bugs with S&D. Thought it was OK, but only for a while, then the problem came back again.
Persistent buggers aren’t they? I would suggest scanning everyday, or every two days……… just to be cautious.
Hmmm… try scanning with spybot again, and see if it finds the same thing it found last time. (Also, forgot to mention, you should use the update function on spybot before you run it for the first time… If you didn’t do that, update first and then scan again.) There may be more you need to do to permanently remove it. Note the names of whatever it is removing. Also check out Spyware Guard and Spyware Blaster, these two programs run in the background and prevent spyware in the first place. Just remember to update them as soon as you get them and every once in a while after that.
