Off Topic, Aquabid

[Charles]

Anybody access Aquabid.com using IE? Mine no longer works, I done the
cleanup things I know of and it's still bad.

Foxfire works, but not IE. Weird.

Yea I just tried it with IE and it works... Do you got a firewall or an
antivirus that could block you from viewing the site?

I get to the site, then immediately get redirected to something called

http://sp.trafficmarketplace.com/f.ad/t.pun.default/2452435.

I've run three supposed cleaners, deleted the cookies. Got to
wondering if they'd been hacked. Must still be my machine. thanks
for the help.

Sounds very much like your machine has been hijacked. Try running
Microsoft's spyware killer - I've heard it catches things that
Ad-Aware and Spybot have missed.

I ran the two you mention and something called noadware. Still bad.
I went into IE and reset everything to original, and it came back to
normal, working about as good as when new,.

Search for a freeware program called "BHODemon". If a "Browser Help Object"
has been installed in your browser by some rogue program, this program will
find it and let you delete it.

I agree with what You've been told here. I do cyber security for a living
with Uncle Sam. I get to it fine, too. I've been very impressed with the
Microsoft Anti-Spyware tool, and the only other two I use are AdAware and
Spybot Search And Destroy. The other one you mentioned, I've never heard of.
Be VERY careful about using just any old spyware cleaner. Many of them ARE
spyware. Another tool you can use is BHO Cop. I'd recommend a good spyware
scan of the PC, and a scan of all files with your virus software. The whole
thing sounds fishy to me.
