View Full Version : Netspry?
Ok a friend of mine woke up this morning to this site (click on your own risk) www.netspry.com as his homepage. When i tried to change the homepage back to yahoo or something, it would change. But when he opened a new window it would go back to the netspry homepage. He tried virus scan, spybot and deleted all the stuff it found and searched the name on his computer. Got nothing and it is still doing it.
any clues on what this is and how to get rid of it?
