General stuff Just a quickie.
Wondered what people think of the new theme im using on D-Blog, i quite liked it and it similar to what i hope to do when i find the time to create my own custom theme, so it will probably be based of this but instead have my own personal images stuck all over the background 
Gah horrible day today. Been moving stuff in and out of the loft and trying to get rid of some nasty malware which has got itself on both my Desktop and Laptop 
Have to admit, i would love to know what and how it is doing what its doing, this little bugger is changing google results and swapping it with it’s own version, which redirects me to all sorts of crappy sites, and i also have something which causes multiple pop ups when using Google.
Annoying thing is last time i came across something like this it was on a friends PC, and it was just an IE addon, which after finding it, tracking the source and deleting it was pretty easy to clear up, but this clever sod is not to do with my browser, its bigger than that it effects any and every browser i use.
I am dying to find out how its working doing my nut in :/ I think it might be some how directing DNS requests to their server instead of my own pre-set ones (openDNS).
Anyway… its late and i have a nice scanner which looks like it will be running all night on my desktop pc… i hope this guy on this forum can help 
they seem to know what they are talking about.
Night all 
… or should i say morning?

Uncategorized hey all, well i aint posted for ages because im lazy but i jsut want to say this.
Okay so background story, on of my mums friends (whos a farther) his son typed in a search on google and went off while it loaded, his dad walks past and sees the result full of porn turns the computer off and tells him he cant us pc because its broke.
Naturally i went to sort it out
and frankly i loved the way it worked, now dont get me wrong but i love this kind of stuff Lol
What this thing does is no matter what you search on google it replaces your results with porn, so you get one result which is normal, it then shows a huge big red warning box telling you that google results chnage or something because of spyware with a link (which if you click gives you even more,.,…) and then pages of links to alsorts of nasty porn.
so being the clever sod i am i didnt even bother scanning for virus i just disabled every add-on in IE restarted it, and check google and i had nice child friendly (ish) results.
had a quick play figuring out which suspicious plugin it was (it is called Video somthing.) and then (becuase it shows the DLL name) did a quick search found it under C:/windows/system32/ deleted it and it was gone, just had to disable and enable it in ie to make the tag vanish and its gone!
Im hoping i can retrieve it from my recycle bin so i can have a look at how it works, but this one just really tickled me and i loved it
If anyone has this i may write a tutorial on how to remove it.
