    Possible hijack attempt!

    Wow, just ran adaware and one of the 'objects' was 1 possible hijack attempt. What the hey??? plus there were 149 'objects'. Is it getting more dangerous on the internet?

    It's a jungle out there....as someone once said!

    If it were me, I would run SpyBot S&D (link in my sig), and a virus program to see if anything else lurks.

    That it is Sal_gal. It takes about 12 seconds to get infected with a virus, a trojan or spyware/malware and hijackers.

    Most of those 149 objects are probably cookies and Temporary Internet Files. When you run these programs, the best advice I have to give, is delete those first, then run your programs.
