If I mistype a domain name in my address bar, my browser (IE 6.0)goes to one of many pages which are full of links to porn & other trash sites.
It also happens if I type just a word or phrase without an extention. It used to be my browser would do a google search for it. Now, it goes to one of these d%#@ links pages.
Some pages it goes to are Hotproductz.com, Websheart.com & Qwerty.com. Also, Wwwcontact2424.com, Only-sexpics.com, Girl-virgin.com, etc, all with identical content.
I can’t tell what page is actually hijacking my browser because the address bar only shows whatever I typed in, misspelled domain name or whatever.
I have McAfee security suite running & monitoring my system (A/V, Firewall & Privacy Keeper). I’ve also run McAfee anti-virus scan, spybot S&D, and Ad-Aware repeatedly, but the problem remains.
Can someone tell me what #^$@ hijacked my browser and how? How can I check my system or find out more info about this? And how can I get rid of it?
Thanks!

Check your add-ons Click on Tools ->Manage Add-Ons. In that list, find programs you don’t recognise and diable them by selecting one and at the bottom select Disable. then restart your browser and try your search again.

Change the hosts file, as described here:http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.ht…
Then use Spybot Search and destroy.

that’s something that would be difficult to fix without actually seeing your computer
Aleem(2010-02-10):

I kow exactly what happened. You or someone who uses that PC has been on porn sites or crack sites or illegal sites downloading and clicking on things they should not be. There’s no two ways about that.
