A little history on my problem of the last few days. Basically my IE homepage has been changed to a search page. Even though it's still shown as my regular start page of about:blank, it still shows the search page.

Stolen Yahoo! ID

bushrat

Some crackhead stole my friends Yahoo ID. I know it's not a big deal, He didn't have any sensitive information in it, but one thing that gets him is that SOMEONE has access to his e-mails, and some of them were personal.

This is in reference to a screensaver that this person downloaded, and is in fact a trojan. I would ask that the link NOT be posted again, in any manner, shape, or form. The screensaver name was bestfriends.

Mastertech

Improve Windows XP's Security on computers not connected to a Domain. Windows XP Home does not include all the security features Windows XP Professional does, so some security options may be unavailable to the Home user.

Well folks, there's another nasty BHO out there that's a pain to get rid of. . . . this one is Elite Toolbar. I've tried the usual suite of Ad Aware and BHO Cop to remove the little #$@%^%$ but it restores itself and registry setting upon every reboot.
