Now I know sod all about computers but was watching the footie yesterday a nd girlfriend and her mate were watching music videos etc on my laptop and wanted to see some Kylie Minogue video- anyway told her to go on to You Tube -she speaks great English but obviously not realising I had You Tube book marked she Googled it- next thing to howls of laughter they were on a You tube porn site!!!! Same logo everything but you can imagine the rest- however now keep getting a trojan alert-your computer at risk etc and worst still, when you put in a search on say Google, the result alters itself to this porn site.
For instance if I type Stoke on Trent hotels the results come up-then as you click on some results it directs you to this bloody web site and an alert comes up
What has she done and how the hell do I get rid of it ?

Soi install the following update them and run complete scans: AVG Free AntivirusSpybotThat should get rid of most. If anything is found that can't be shifted you'll need to google for the virus name then find a removal process.  |

Download the free version and it used to be good but I ended up getting Norton with my Broadband a few years back so not sure what it is like now. www.lavasoftusa.com/Ad_aware that is, nothing mucky mind |
