Okay, I bought this new computer, an e-machines, with vista windows, McAfee security, defender, and I have dialup through netzero. Somehow I have had this webcry thing attach itself to my browser, or something in my computer. It only becomes active at google, any other search engine and I have no problems. But go to google, click onto anything, and webcry comes up in the search box, and steers me to an ad page. I have to go backwards and reclick onto where I want to go to finally get there. Happens every single time, but at google only. Any other search engine, no problems.
Now in tools, under manage addons, I came across something that didn't look right, "browser redirect" it read, so I unabled it, went to google, and it kind of solved part of my problems, now when I click onto something at google, I webcry comes up in the address box, but instead of being redirected to an add, I'm quickly taken to a blank page, every time. I then go backwards, and still have to click onto where I first clicked onto, then I get to where I want to go.
So the browser redirect thing in manage addons clearly was part of the webcry thing. My main problem now is finding out where the rest of this thing is hiding. If I didn't like google so much, I would simply solve the problem by using another search engine, but who knows if this webcry is just going to put, or if it will spread to other areas? I really don't want to take that chance.
To date, heres the steps I've taken to try and solve this; bought and downloaded spywarebot, did a scan, then a deep scan, webcry still there. Got error killer, a privacy control software, and anti spywarebot, did scans, webcry still there. I also did the adwarealert 7000, still there. I have also run a program called vundo, or something like that, reccomended by another site, webcry still there. So today I downloaded bitdefender, the free version, ran it, webcry still there.And I just want to add, I am a novice at all this, this being my first new computer. So what haven't I tried???
