Its amazing what people will do to hack your computer. Luckily I got my computer secured with a software and hardware firewall. Just a few years ago, we never has this problem, and now is a huge wide spread problem.

I use Mozilla Firefox so luckily I dont get any security breaches with my browser.
And as stated above, make sure that you secure your host file found in C:\%systemroot%\System32\drivers\etc\ and that will make sure that you dont get hijacked.

That happened to a friend of mine, she had to totally wipe her computer and re-install windows. She typed in some search engines web address wrong, I think it was Dog Pile. I always have firewalls running like Zone Alarm and Microsoft Anti-Spy. Shouldn't be much of a problem for me. Plus I use the embedded search engine for google, e-bay etc. in firefox

I have the URL for the site to which this thread is referring, and I've been testing that site at school to see if it works (yes, I know, that's terrible, but it's not my computer ), and I've found that the site doesn't work anymore...which means good news!
