DD_Brando Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I hate doing house-calls! An old Warbirds buddy rings me up and asks if I can go round and help him to get on-line. Off I go to Torquay and, feckin' hell, he's got an account with TalkTalk The only way to start the connection is by using a CD, and the fun starts. At lightning speed I watch a legalised browser-hijack take place, as the connection is diverted straight to www....aol/talktalk.com. Jeepers isn't quite the expression I used, but I don't want to say it, and I should correct what I said about going directly to AOL. In fact I watched horrified as the bottom bar revealed the various sites it was linking to on the way - Ad-click is the only one I can name atm but there were about a dozen. Cursing, I went to Firefox options to replace the opening page but I hadn't allowed for the stupidity of my client. While I went to have a pee he started clicking on links to set up e-mail and stuff. Oh nooooo! To cut a painful story short, it took me an hour and a half to get the machine to a state of safety - free of AOL and a host of spyware that had appeared. My mate phoned me up this morning and apologised for being such a dick-head - I just wished him good luck with TalkTalk. One to avoid lads, unless you feel like wasting a nice evening. B Quote
