Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2008Blocked Internet
When my Internet Explorer pops up and loads my homepage, or any other page, it blocks it. I get a circle with the colors of microsoft, and an "Internet Explorer Warning- visiting this web site may harm your computer! "Most likely causes: 1. The website contains exploits that can launch a malicious code on your computer. 2. Suspicious network activity detected 3. There might be an active spyware running on your computer" "What can you try: Activate XP antivirus fro secure Internet surfing (Reccommended) Check your computer for viruses and malware. More info." when i click all of these options, it sends me to an ad asking me to buy the XP antivirus 2008 software. not only that, it's not a website. the address is about:blank. I have no other option, but to buy it. I don't want to. Is this possibly a virus? If so, I need help getting rid of it. I have Spy Sweeper and it's swept my computer clean. My Norton Antivirus is scanning my computer and hasn't found anything. what can i do? > When my Internet Explorer pops up and loads my homepage, or any other > page, [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > what can i do?

Dear deenguyen09, Had the same problem! Very annoying! Solved entire issue by purchasing SpyHunter for approx. $30.00 Not had a problem since. This software detected many problems and fixed them. You can run the program scan for free and you will see the problems infecting your computer! Hope this helps.

I would very much doubt that the fairly ineffective SpyHunter fully resolved the problem, if indeed it was identical to the OPs. Judging from similar posts here in the past month or so, the behavior may be due to a Vundo-ZLOB-SDBot infection, all of which is protected by a rootkit. No utility or combinaton of utilities can clean this up.
