@Ben_Dover I think the fact that your double green lines are leading to “informationgetter” may have something to do with it. You should check your machine for adware or a virus.
Thanks. so far it has been fairly benign, but I guess no telling what’s coming next. I am running a scan and if that doesn’t do it I will download @shilolo ‘s removal tool.
What does it mean if the stopzilla program states, “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more details?
Should I have done something like turned off my regular spyware ?
Well, my problem wasn’t as serious as a Trojan. I downloaded Q-Bert and SuperMario Bros the other day, and apparently got the Mr Magoo game ads which underlines key words here on Fluther in a double green link to Mario games…
So I just went to the control panel and uninstalled the stupid thing.
Glad to hear it wasn’t too bad. If you need to go to safe mode, restart your computer and while it’s starting, but before Windows launches, press F8. When I do it, I have to repeatedly press F8 until it comes up in safe mode, but you may only have to press it once.
Glad this got sorted out! I had the same problem after I got on the Sushi Games website. After that, I had all sorts of little green underlined words that were annoying. I was able to remove the errant software but not before it caused the above confusion!
I had a similar browser redirect (assholes) that wasn’t as benign as yours but after I found rkill it was vanquished by malwarebytes. Now I run rkill before every scan.
