  1. you are infected by adware. to remove them, i recommend downloading spybot search & destroy and doing a thorough scan. if you feel that this is not enough, maybe download another antispyware like windows defender. check out www.download.com for all your needs :)


  2. dryhomepage virus - zlob

    run:

  3. Zlob Removal

    Download this file to your desktop

    http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomai...

    Close all browsers, right-click and select: Install

    Disconnect from the internet.

    This program doesn’t really install, it just clears all sites in the Domains and Ranges keys.

    Afterwards you will need to immunize again in SpyBotS&D and re-protect again with SpywareBlaster or re-install iespyadds if it’s installed, then the file itself (DelDomains.inf) can be safely deleted.

    Simply use the Search or Find utility to locate it and delete dryhomepage.

    Also use the following to remove any other infections:

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Removes Antivirus 2008/2009/XPAntivirus and many more:

    Download, install, update and select Quick Scan.

    Remove all infections that it finds after scan.

    Spybot S&D:
