<font face="Century Gothic" color=#2E4998 size=2><b>My mate's PC got hijacked by 123found, changing his homepage and disabling his Internet Options menu, he's tried Norton and Spybot, but it hasn't found anything.


Anyone know how to remove it?</b></font>

It may sound obvious, but try add/remove programs. Surprisingly, a few of these option bars/obvious spyware apps come with uninstallers

If not however, go to ad-aware SE or spybot options and choose to run in start-up and it may pick it up if it gets loaded into memory on the PC start-up.

If all else fails, tell him to get this: http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

A program called hijack this. Run it after everything else has started up and post the log here, I'll see if there is anything recognised in there. It's like a manual spyware tracker and is a PAIN IN THE ARSE but if all else fails :|

Cheers man, I'll let him know. :D

Um, how do I go about obtaining a log of my list items? I've downloaded that Hijack This program now, so give me some steps and I'll greatly appreciate it.
