let my brother use my laptop... (big pic)

and now this.. somehow he appears to have gotten my search engine hijacked. it's all good now, tho gotta love spybot and adaware. and my girlfriend wonders why she has a specific computer for her to use instead of my main box....


{image was optimized while half asleep so may look like crap}

and don't give me crap about using IE.. I haven't had a browser hijacked in about 2 yrs or so. You just have to know what you are doing to use it (relatively) safely

Hmm...

Question: Did you rename Internet Explorer to NetExploder or did the adware/virus etc..?

If you went to Google.com, would it still bring up the hijacked search engine?
