dude… boot up the pc… take it OFF the interweb… open IE\>… let the spyware garbabge error out… open tools int options, reset the homepage… (probably set to some script on your local drive… ) then go to add/remove prog and delete all the spyware shit that is infecting your PC\>… drop your IE temp files on XP (C:\docs and setts\username\local settings) and clean up that piece. maybe download regcleaner or run: msconfig and get rid of stuff. ---

> [@slowcamaro](#): > > dont feel bad i got hijacked and cant fix this shit it just pisses me off that people on here will say “you should have asked here before you tried to fix it” and then when i ask i get some bullshit reply (usually from silvrhand).
