    Moved this post from the Internet Explorer section...

    Admittedly --- I am a rank beginner, so maybe I have missed something.

    I have a web address on my computer that I cannot get rid of.

    I start to type www.nytimes, and this site for some pornstar comes up. Ok, yeah, a friend of mine typed it in and said that I had to see it, and yeah, she was cute, but I don;t really want that stuff hanging around on my computer.

    I have ran Ad-Aware, ran an Avast! virus check, deleted the Temp Internet Files, deleted cookies, deleted files, cleared the history...even defragmented.

    I don't really want to turn off Auto Complete, but that may be my last option. Is there something that I am missing?

    Thanks!

    Once autocomplete was turned off, all of the entries it 'remembered' should be cleared and gone when re-enabled. Does it still come up for you anyway?

    Download and install RegSeeker, open and click Histories, then Internet Explorer URLs. Either select all and delete or delete the rogue entry if present. Again click Histories then IE History Cache Cookies and do the same. Select Histories again and then Clean StreamMRU/Stream Keys and click OK. Now open IE and see if the problem persists. If so, click find in registry within RegSeeker and search for the offending URL. If/when found, post the location(s) please.

    Did RegSeeker...STILL there!

    Heres the URL...

    http;//www.nataliacruze.xxx/partners/galleries/101053/NCredblack/

    Edit by PeteC - URL rendered inactive to protect others, but most will get the gist.

    is the /NCredblack/ the culprit?

    Thanks, hope everyone had a nice T-giving!

    Would you send me that link via private message, so I can see what system changes it makes, and maybe where it has your system hooked? Left click my username and you will see the PM option.

    Would you also post a HijackThis log, please?
