Help … experts!
Groveling in advance for any assistance i can get. I've scanned input here and elsewhere. Appears others have gone above and beyond my detection efforts.
I've contracted an ad-ware(?) / mal-ware(?) beast that seems to be hosted by: www.webbuying.net; also veiled as http://64.233.167.104; http://pagead2.googlesydicate.com, and don't know what else.
Activated Windows XP content advisor with password, and it's detecting these sites every time I click a page. Near impossible to feel confident that I'm not letting the beast back in as an okay site masked by a similar name to that which I am trying to access for help.
These sites override my IE start up page, and jump in at any site I try to access, including searches. If I try to google these addresses to learn what's been written on the problem, google freezes. Is that creepy, or what?!
I'm wondering if I should just take system to a professional cleaner at this point. But, so receptive to other options, if possible. HELP???
Thanks so much.
