    Oh, and in that case, would I need to start using Thunderbird for email?

    Firefox + Thunderbird for one day should be enough to see what's going on.

    Okay. Thanks very much broni. I'm sorry about messaging you on your board. I wasn't aware that you would receive notices of messages from WindowsBBS.

    I'll switch to Firefox now and be in touch.

    Hi Broni,
    No sign of malware today, but I haven't used the computer very much and I've only used Firefox to browse the web.

    I'm quite sure though that it only happens when I use Internet Explorer. I'm still infected, I'm quite certain of that.

    Hi Broni,

    I've reset Internet Explorer. Should I just continue using Internet Explorer for awhile and see if resetting it has solved the problem?

    Chinese malware

    Hi Broni,

    These are three examples of many. I have only made screenshots of a few,
    but they are always different.

    Let's reset your router...

    Turn the computer off.

    On your router, you'll find a pinhole marked "Reset ".
    Keep pushing the hole, using a pencil, or a paperclip until all lights briefly come off and on.
    NOTE. Simple router disconnecting from a power source will NOT do.
    Restart computer and check for redirections.

    NOTE. You may need to re-check your router security settings, as described HERE

    We reset the router about a week ago. Do you want me to do it again?

    Reset router and then right away reset IE as well.
    If that doesn't help we'll have to re-run some tools.
