Recently I was trolling the internet and must have hit a website that hijacked my computer somehow.
I have Norton Antivirus 8.0 Corp Edition running Win XP SP2 with all the updates..etc..etc..
Now, when I boot up my machine the Norton services will fail to load and when I am using Internet Explorer I can not open a webpage from clicking on a link to open it. The web page starts to open, but I get a blank screen.
I figured I have some sort of virus or maybe a spyware program.
So, I made sure Spybot was up to date, scanned with it cleaned what I found. Also, I downloaded Microsofts spyware beta, ran it cleaned what was located. I also did a manual update on Norton, ran a full system scan over night and came up clean. I also tried booting in safemode and run a virus scan, nothing reported there either.
Any ideas?
Thanks
