Drivivng me nuts!! Trying to go into my banking details, renew a domain name, renew my anti-virus and other similar areas I was getting diverted to a spy-ware search-page, so I ran AdAware and Spybot which removed this but now when I try to access banking info I get the message 'Page cannot be displayed'. Have tried jiggling the security settings to no good end. Also alarmingly I cannot activate Norton AV.
Two things:
* Were your
Spybot-S&D/Adaware files up-to-date? You may still have a
hijacker or
Trojan on your system that's newer than your datafiles could deal with.
* Did you note
which malware was removed by the 2 programs?
At least one piece of scumware (
New.net comes to mind -- there may be others) trashes your network settings and often requires a repair after removal.
You might also try to download and run
HijackThis.
Note: read the instructions on the linked page
very carefully (the main download link is broken -- use one of the mirrors). Do not actually remove anything from your
startup or
Registry until you have posted the log that it generates and are given explicit instructions on what to remove. You should also check out my
Malware, virus, and startup information and tools page for more details.
Norton, resource hog that it is, is not much of a loss -- the
free Grisoft AVG is better, anyway...
