This JAWA CO. thing? Everytime I type "literotica.com" into my browser, I am redirected to the JAWA CO. and they redirect me to AdultFriendFinder.

I'm starting to get bummed. Do they think I need another man?
 
I have Lit set as a favorite but I did try what you've been doing and it brought me straight to Lit. Do you have a virus that's redirecting you to that site (does it do it for other sites you try to visit?)

Usually it is not a virus, but rather visiting some website that has changed a setting in an insecurely setup browser. I haven't had a redirect since I started using Firefox for almost everything.
 
OK, I do have it in my favorites and that is how I got in, but it's buried so far down the list, that I'm looking for some better way to handle it because I'm lazy and don't have much time.
This is my first redirect, I scan regularly for viruses and haven't had one. But then again, I haven't scanned today.
I have no idea what Firefox is...help?

It's always something.

Yahoo's toolbar also has a decent spyware program.

Just go to yahoo.com and download their toolbar. It kicks ass at getting rid of spyware.

Firefox is another browser and it is a great browser and i love it the first thing in the morning and later i have to use another browser due to a problem between my computer and firefox but i am trying to fix that but it is the best browser i have used.

Spywares arn't viruses. They are tracking cookies and backdoors into your browsing habits. Eventually they can slow down your computer and even crash it. You should scan for spyware at least once per week and use more than one spyware program. What Spybot doesn't catch, Ad-Aware will and then Yahoo will clear the rest. Especially critical if you surf alot.
I think this is what my problem is. I do have the Yahoo toolbar so I'll check that out because I don't see anything about spyware on it right now. Do surf a lot for shopping sites and my computer is slower than it's ever been so I think you're onto something. Thank you very, very much!

Cathleen, so sorry. Didn't realize I could do that. I'll figure that out, too.
 
I go for easy solutions Intrigued - all the other stuff being said is flying past my brain.
 
One thing about firefox is when you get a PM and you want to open in another window it will not allow it because you have pop-up blockers on and it will not allow the PM open and you have to go to the PM itself.

If you understood what i said i have been drinking the first time in years that i have had some whiskey. :D

Virus scanners don't necessarily detect spyware, or fix the settings they make. You should look at your "hosts" file in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC. You probably don't need one at all, but if you see that site listed, just delete the file.
 
what guru said..you might also consider installing a firewall like zone alarm..they have a free version that works well for me. the combination of zone alarm, spy-bot and noadware keeps nearly all the baddies out and running them once a week rids your system of the ones that sneak in.
 
It was Adware. I am amazed that it managed to get past ZoneAlarm. Anyway, thank you to Mia, I found it on the newest version of Yahoo tool bar. :kiss: I was able to type in "literotica.com" and it opened to the home page, so that's nice. OK, I'm scanning for cookie trackers now, I missed that the first time arouns so I'm having to repeat the very long scan. *sigh*
I suck. :cool:

Thanks for all the help!
