So I accedentally began to download something posing as an active X controller for a video that really turned out to be some kind of weird spy ware site, now posing as an internet security center. When I open internet explorer, instead of my normal homepage it is some site at "http://dryhomepage.com/xp" and tries to make me think it's an anti-spyware site and to download software from them and I can't get rid of it! Also, another site pops up every once in a while called "antispycheck.com", and it essentially tries to do the same thing. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or what this is? I've done a scan in McAfee and it's not detecting anything, but these programs seem really fishy (and probably "phishy" as well). To my knowledge, my computer isn't acting weird (yet) but I'd like to get rid of this stuff ASAP! I haven't downloaded anything else to get rid of it (such as hijack this that I keep seeing recommended here), mainly because I am paranoid now!! Anyway, PLEASE help me, any information as to what this even is would be great! Thank you!
If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
