My pc was hijacked and now sites I used to visit are not available to me. It was XUPITER.COM, I have some control now but I can only view sites that have videos marked WMV, any other type, like mp or avi or any type I keep getting a message stating that the server can't be located. I have gone into settings and tried to go back to default but still no luck. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Dave

Use spybot or ad-aware to get rid of this annoying *$%#@$&

I *hate* spyware....

I've also seen some registry altering steps that can be taken, but you shouldn't have to go to that extreme.

Take a look here for some info and links:

Good luck!

Thanks for the help, but that did not fix the problem. Like I said, the only videos I can view is the ones marked WMV all others like MP or AVI or anything else won't run, it says server not found check your internet settings. I reset them to default but no luck. I hate to admit this but unless someone has a fix I will have to reinstall WINXP PRO all over again and all my data and apps. Come to my rescue!
Thanks,
Dave
