A Trojon Horse or a Dirty Trick ??
« on: January 19, 2004, 10:14:15 PM »
A couple days ago I was Google searching for
Amiga Retailers. (on my PC)
One of the sites got a Trojon Horse? past my
firewall.  This thing called 'CoolSearch' (a web
searcher) has installed itself as my home page
and I can't figure how to get rid of it. I can't find
what the file is called.
Anyway, the only web site listed for it is a site
called 'Merijn Software'.
Their web page says that some hacker is
responsible and is giving their site as a way
to remove the Trojon Horse. Their 'Spy Ware'
will remove it.
How gullibe do they think I am ???
Yaaah Riiight ,, I'm supposed to beleave that.
They want me to download their software and
pay whatever their price is.
No way in Hell I would buy their software when
they use these kinds of Dirty Tricks.
This happened at what I thought would be a
legitimate site....
Google searchers  beware :-x

Anyway .. anyone know how I can figure out
how to get rid of this offending file ??
I'm using Win98 SE.

Well I agree with most of what you ppl are saying.

I have my A3k w/ WarpEngine 40mhz ,80 megs ram
and Cybervision64 card.

I have Ibrowse 2.3, (are there any update patches??)
And as much as I am not fond Explorer, the GFX
and speed are better than IBrowse.

Maybe its time for an IBrowse thread for  'Tips
and Tricks' to improve speed ect.

Hmmm...

I have 'ZoneAlarm' installed. It got past it.
I'm going to D/L one of the Spywares recomended
here and try that.
