    Re: spy shredder virus

    You guys don't get it. My daughter has the same problem as the Dutchman. You
    can't go to a website because your browser is hijacked, so you can't
    download anything or have a 'free' scan of your computer. All you can do is
    hope for an update from your virus protection. My daughter got temp help
    from the recent AdAware update, since that doesn't use the browser to update
    or scan. But the virus re-attached somehow (she said she got an 'update'
    from Microsoft, but I suspect it was trojan.win32.obfusgated.gx

    Thanks, Beau, but you don't understand - if your browser is hijacked, you
    can't use it to go get a remedy! She's stuck! I told her to download the
    Netscape browser and hope that the trojan doesn't speak Netscape!

    She's going to need somebody to research this for her with a computer
    that can connect to the internet.

    Downloading new internet software probably isn't going to help her. How
    can she download the Netscape browser if she can't connect to the internet?

    Somebody your daughter can talk to on the phone that has an internet
    capable computer is going to have to look at Beau's link to see if it's
    the proper solution and then tell your daughter what steps to take to
    remove the offensive software.

    We all know how much it sucks to have our computer infected with some
    nasty software.

    Most of us are here to try and help.

    Bad advice. The trojan may do more than just hijack the browser. It
    probably shouldn't be allowed to continue it's existance.

    Yes I do understand. Print the page and hand it to her. Let her (or you)
    follow the instructions to remove the trojan.

    > if your browser is hijacked, you can't use it to go get a remedy!


    Use yours, not hers.

    > She's stuck! I told her to download the Netscape browser and hope

    Forget Netscape. Get Firefox instead. Try Opera too.
    http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/firefox/
    http://www.opera.com/
    and don't worry about the insecure Internet Explorer any more.

    And how could she download Netscape if her only browser is hijacked?
