There is an absolute way of removing all viruses from your system but its rather drastic and should only be used as a last resort. The complete re-installation of windows, preferably on a brand new hard drive. Before we get there we should try things like
http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/lp4a/?gc ... tAodhWwAMA
or
http://systemtools.winzip.com/mp/prodpa ... tAodDz0AIg
or even a full anti-virus scan.

Its probably a lot more effective if you do these scans in safe mode
Its press the F8 key at first boot up before any windows logo appears. I press it repeatedly myself. Then select safe mode from the menu.
Safe mode is a diagnostic level of windows which loads minimum drivers and little else. Most viruses and malware shouldn't load so should be easy for a scanner to find.

I can't believe I've managed to pick up another one whilst trying to get rid of this one! Mysearchdial.search :twisted: :roll:

Valda, I found this programme got rid of all the nasty malware that had attached itself to my browser etc. Most I thought I had denied but they went ahead and installed themselves anyway.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

The free version is very good. Make sure you do the full scan.

thanks Sparrow, I had tried that one and it didn't get rid of it either.

thanks to you both for the advice, I've gotten rid now, through lots of fumbling around, so I don't even know what did it :confused:

Of course now, I'm still worried its still there but not showing :rolleyes:

If I have two or three laptops being used from the same router, do they all have same IP address please? Or put another way, is an IP address particular to a laptop or to the router?

The router has IP range it gives out so each item on your network will have a different IP address

On a PC, if you open up Command Prompt (cmd from the Run box will do the trick), typing in ipconfig will show the specific IP address being used.

For i- devices, it's under Settings, Wifi, the network being used, then if you expand details, there you go.

No idea re macs, I don't use them.

I believe it is in system preferences>Network> then click on the connection you are using and it should be on the details
