Sites Redirecting to Advertisement, ITS A ZLOB!!!!

to do a hyperlink here you first have to type in the website or the word you want to link. It can be anything or any word like this (<-- I hyperlinked that to this site). Then you need to highlight the word (drag your mouse over it so it is highlighted) then click on the chain above

Once you click on that a pop up box will appear. Add the hyperlink to "Link URL" click insert and woo la you created a hyperlink here.

Now with that said please don't go hyperlink crazy here - to many hyperlinks can affect how google rates us here at grownupgeek. Now if you do hyperlink something I did forget to add in the "target" area of the pop up click on the right to it and change it to "Open link to a new window".

Now the chain link is to create a hyperlink and the broken chain is to remove a hyperlink (like if you were to copy and paste in my name "smartmom" it would already have a hyperlink attached to it).

 

if your able to google the exact name of the threat, you should be able to pull up detailed instructions on removal. you could also contact your antivirus software and request a solution. 

when your scanner finds the threat, does it provide a location path?  you can use regedit to trace the exact path and manually erase it.  also you could use search to see if you can find where its hiding.  do you have a good registry cleaner? 

not to discourage you, but its never a bad time to start backing up files or moving them to your storage drive. :) 

happy hunting!
