Boris Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 The over-riding link you entered above is invalid ? http://www.goog1e.co.nr/.nr is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Nauru.Either you have entered the wrong URL - or your home page is being hi-jacked by some malware.If so - you will need to download and run a hijacker removal tool to remove the malicious program that's causing the problem.Try this :-http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest...4-10122137.htmlAfter installation, Update it for the latest definitionsMake sure you Immunise Then run a full scan of your PC.

Dencandy Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Your browsers been hijacked by this pest google1e (it's not the same as a virus, but just as malicious). Follow Boris's advice and you should be able to remove it. If it comes back again you'll need to do a much more thorough clean-up because it's been embedded much deeper. Follow this advice from AVG. After you've got Spybot S&D up and running and have got the home page you want with IE7 you can use Spybot to protect it & stop it being hi-jacked. Go to Tools (in Spybot)>IE Tweaks> Lock IE Start-up Page. You'll have to unlock this later if you want to change your home page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htect Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I tried all as suggested by tou but still my home page is being hijacked. I tried even with IE tweaks in spybot but even then page is being hijacked. I tried spybot,AVG, avast,rogueremover I tried even with system resore off, booting in safe mode and performed scans but still problem not solvedhelp me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dencandy Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've never dealt with this one before and there's hardly anything about it on Google Search.I suggest you use an on-line anti-virus scanner next, like this from TrendMicro.If that doesn't work then you should try using HiJack malware remover. This is an advanced tool but you can read a detailed account of how to use it (including download instructions) here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
