I've been lax and hadn't loaded antivirus software on his computer, I know that was stupid. I've loaded it now and it's keeping the porn popup from coming up. I've run CWShredder, Spywareblaster, and Hijackthis and none have worked. The homepage still won't change. Help.
that happened to me two years ago. I had to have a pro come in and clean out the cookie that was resetting my homepage. I installed Symantec and haven't had any issue since.
