Browsers are hijacked.

Original title:

"Attention required".

I have a problem with my browsers (Chrome and IE). I'm trying to access Google, Youtube, Hotmail, etc, but I get a screen like this http://tinypic.com/r/34y1p9y/6 . I am a little worried because I searched a bit and someone posted in a forum that was a rootvirus or something that could infect the whole computer and not allow me to access the internet more. Basically, my main questions are: "How can I fix this?" and "I would be concerned, worried, etc.? Thank you.

Edit 1: Also, I discovered that Microsoft Essentials just cleared out two viruses bearing the same title (maybe just 1 virus the first kidnapping attempt because had an error code of 0 x 80508023): http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=SettingsModifier%3aWin32%2fPossibleHostsFileHijack&threatid=14994 . Could be the source of the problem?
Edit 2: I have solved the problem, but I have another question. I got the virus mentioned repeatedly, but never blocked as such Web sites before. Could someone explain whence this virus and how to prevent it from coming back?

There is a link to another page ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034?wa=wsignin1.0 ) that has a program called repair. I downloaded, run the program and restarted my computer, it worked. Apparently, it resets your entire HOST file, at least, that's what he did for me.

    It's freaking ODD!

    Need to apologize to DanAz_66(see [post (s)) above.

    I hooked this Win7 machine directly to the modem, and it was much faster.

    I DON'T KNOW WHY!  Especially when the other two machines are fast through the router.

    I guess that I must seek a double Ethernet jack on the back of the modem, so she can go both places. until I can find a solution for this computer to use the router in a fast way.

    This thing of Win7 is bumming me big time, I can put WinXP Pro on. We'll see.

  • Certain websites in Firefox do not display correctly, other browsers are fine.

    Hi, for about a week my wife had problems loading certain websites. When she goes to Twitter or Pinterest example site will appear very basic with everything aligned to the left. However, everything works perfectly with other browsers like IE and Chrome. I've been watching people with similar problems and tried what worked for them, but nothing helps.

    So far, we tried: clear the cache and cookies, performed a reinstall full Firefox while ensuring to remove records of Mozilla remains in Program Files and %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto thus, restart the modem/router, by doing an ipconfig/flushdns and finally to top it all the computer restarts.

    Absolutely nothing has worked so far.

    Update: it solved the problem. Oddly enough changing the date on the computer has solved the problem. Why is this?

    Currently on a laptop HP, Win8, print on a HP Color Laser, no previous problem. all of a sudden, PDF print blank pages. I can see the fine page. Safe mode without addons has no change. I printed my taxes and had no problems.

    I have used IE (shudder) have a print PDF of fine. I have no software PDF itself on the computer, simply by using the native support of browsers. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. Research shows PDF loading problems, but my problem is printing to PDF. Using the 29 of Firefox version. Anyone got tips or clues how this track? Very close to the introduction of my computer to Mr. sledgehammer.

    Firefox 29.0.1 has been published, which contains a fix for this issue - an update is recommended for all those affected: Firefox update to the latest version

  • NVIDIA video card do not have FireFox, other browsers are ok.

    I went from an ATI video card Nvidia GeForce GT620 card yesterday and now when I use Firefox, when I scroll or when the browser load or 'think', the speakers make a cracking noise when music plays. If I pause Windows Media Player or the Zune software and scroll I don't hear any sound but as soon as the music plays and then scroll, its all crackle-y.

    The problem does not occur in Chrome or IE 11, only firefox I'm running Windows 7 32 bit.

    I just discovered that scroll in Outlook also makes noise if its not just Mozilla FireFox.

  • A day return Firefox got silent. All devices are OK. All other browsers are functioning normally.

    Version 10. The program is fully functional but not sound.

    Hi Anna_Kopylova,

    It could be a number of things. You may have accidentally cut audio for Firefox. Article in the Knowledge Base article what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds will show you how to check.

    If this does not work, you should look at common audio problems and graphics issues. This will show you how to solve problems of plugin/extension that could have an impact on your system.

    Hope this helps!

  • Web browsers are no longer because of the version of the Flash plugin (problem reappeared after a prior solution)

    jeromiec83223024



    I was part of a focus group in which Lenovo many users had problems with the Flash plugin on their web browser (Re: does not have a plugin (Shockwave Flash). ) forums.adobe.com/message/7992871#7992871). Problems consisted largely of messages does not work on Chrome, Edge and IEon websites such as Facebook, Youtube, Gmail and others who use chat or to play html5 videos. Chrome, the message indicates that a plugin (Flash) became unresponsive, and then the page can no longer be reacts with. On the edge, it just stops responding. These problems have been resolved for a few days now, but after that my Windows updated again last night itself, the problems came back.

    Everyone knows these question make a comeback? I use a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 with Windows 10 x 64.

    Hi Jean-Luc.

    Yes, hardware acceleration is turned off in the Chrome settings and via the global settings for a while (before the error on which came back again). Will let you know if this problem persists. If all goes well, it was something unique. I have "he's trying to use right Chrome to see if the error appears again.

  • all my browsers, including firefox, have been hijacked

    Hello. My new computer, under Windows 8, picked up the very annoying malware from 'search.nu' (also known as "search.qu"). All my browsers are affected. (Yes, I confess guilty to occasionally using browsers other than FF!) I see different suggested ways, both in Firefox and generally on the web, forum to rid their computer of this parasite viroids. But it seemed to make sense to me, before doing what was suggested, to go to the Windows Control Panel and use the procedure "uninstall the program. So my original question: how is it that no one mentions the uninstall as the logical first step process? I'm hesitant to try "Uninstall" when none of the experts seems to be to recommend it.

    I would appreciate greatly any illumination can provide members of the Firefox Forum.

    Hello patrickmc, djstsys and cor - el! Thank you all very much for your contribution. I would briefly like to ask about the developments - and what I fervently hope is fast and fun to solve the problem.

    First of all, in all honesty, I must admit that the villain of the piece, 'search.nu', at least with me, was more than a thief to shoplift as a serial killer. Yes, it I stopped to go to my home page and instead offered a white screen with just a search box - its own search box, of course. If I had been stupid enough to use this search engine, most likely some hair on the head or hair events would fell on me. But from the first moments I knew to ignore, and so my difficulties never amounted to more than one gene. And yet, even a simple annoyance should be eliminated if possible, don't you think?-especially when I'm feeling so affectionate and protective towards my computer brand new and want to keep it intact.

    Thus, the instructions very simple Firefox and Chrome, I deleted Search.nu as my home page, replacing Yahoo, as the fascist Search.nu leaves stage right, as he went to the area of research, potentially very mischievous Search.nu. I closed and reopened the two browsers several times, and it seems that this simple measure was sufficient.

    The reason why I didn't delete the whole program is that when I went to the Windows one uninstall program and began the process, it turned out that I had downloaded the wrong search.nu as unexpected and unwanted baggage with J - zip, a piece of software that I've used for years on my old computer - and love. Of course, I wanted to keep j - zip! So, at this time, I decided to try the above simple maneuver and eliminate the search.nu while retaining the j - zip.

    I know from reading online about search.nu that in the past it strenuously resisted eviction--you'd think that you'd killed it when suddenly it would spring up very much alive and bent on vengeance, like Glenn Close in the bathtub scene in  "Fatal Attraction"!!   But maybe all the terrible publicity over the past few years that search.nu has received (e.g. McAfee Siteadvisor puts up a big red X and obstructs access) has caused search.nu to mutate into a more benign form.  You know, in real life, viruses (biological, not computer, ones) often do exactly that--if they're too virulent, and kill off their hosts very quickly, they don't have time to replicate.  So the most successful biological viruses rapidly mutate into milder forms, making you just sick enough to cough and sneeze, etc. and spread them to others, and I think maybe search.nu, in allowing itself to be controlled so easily, has wisely done just that sort of mutating.
    

    In any case, patrickmc, djstsys, cor - el, I thank you once again, and it is great that, for all malicious elements on the internet such as search.nu or worse, there are still people like you three which combine altruism with knowledge and intelligence - and really benefit people like me!
