    If you don't find any malware, you can always add 888.com to your hosts file. But get it checked out for malware first.

    My thanks to both members for their response to my Post. I utilised Microsoft Security Essentials, this showed no mention of any Malaware errors present.

    That doesn't mean there isn't. Please follow the instructions I provided. Web pages (to a poker/gaming site in this case) do not open by themselves.

    I agree with Arie. Its best to make sure. No security suite is infallible however good it is. I had a laptop in this week with a number of infections on it. Some of the infections were only picked up by one of the scanners, but by the time it got a clean bill of health from all the scanners it was running a whole lot better.

    Hi BobbyScot. As Arie suggested though you should post in the Malware and Virus Removal Forum first. They use a good number of advanced tools that will help clean up your system and give your computer a clean bill of health. There is no one program that will be able to identify everything.

    I used all the scanners that are listed in the Malware forum. I'm not a malware expert but broni is the man you need on the case...

    It was only when ALL the scanner logs showed nothing I didn't recognise that I was satisfied that the system was clean. I had uninstalled most of the junk that the client had installed first though (using Revo Uninstaller) and that had got rid of most of the spyware first. I started with over 120 infections and got rid of them all. Some of the infections were embedded in the System Restore files too.

    However, I'm not in a position or expert enough to take you through all the scans and logs that you need to analyze. Broni's the man..

    I think I aught to clarify this as, on the face of it, this statement implies that one scanner was better than or detected more infections than the others. This was not the case. The fact was that no ONE scanner got everything. It was the combination of scanners that ultimately got everything. Hope that clarifies.

    dnmacleod, I understand fully as all virus type software have their own way to catch virus. Anti virus software, I am made to believe are best to be run as an individual searcher. As suggested I downloaded, Spybot-search and destroy, then installed and ran same. Spybot indicated, that my computer was clean of malware infections. Meantime, after altering some boxes in IE 9, at present the error generated by 888.com has now been solved, well for the time being! My sincere thanks to all members who participated in solving post.

    I would still run Malwarebytes scanner, GMER, aswMBR and DDS and make sure that they ALL come up clean and, if they don't, take whatever steps are necessary to make that happen. Then run a full deep scan with whatever AV product you use - or alternatively use the Kaspersky online scanner as a final check over. Once that is done, defrag the hard drive and wipe the free space to eradicate any trace of the infection(s) on your hard disk.

    Like Arie said in an earlier post, pages to gambling sites don't open on their own. Something is making that happen and I wouldn't be satisfied until I'd found out why.
