Everytime I open the internet explorer, the word Nyaaahaa appears. What does it mean? Is this a virus?

Question

It appears at the top bar of the internet explorer window, and it goes like this; Yahoo! Anwers - Nyaaahaaa. Any website that I open, it always appears at the end. Please advise how to get rid of this. Thanks!

Answer 1

get firefox

IE sucks and always gets glitchy like that

Answer 2

Sounds like a virus hacked the IE program and changed the string "Internet Explorer" that always displays in the title bar to "Nyaaahaaa."  While this doesn't cause anything dangerous at all, I would suggest you do a virus scan.

If you know what you're doing, you can use a Resource Hacker or a Hex Editor to go into the IEXPLORE.EXE program and change it back yourself.

If you don't know what you're doing, you can just reinstall Internet Explorer (after you have removed the virus/malware that caused this) and it should be fine.

Restart your PC in safe mode with networking
