Some fucking idiot in my family (my brother) has managed to download some bloody.....THING! onto my PC which is really pising me off now.
It's called "Internet Optimizer" i deleted it and got rid of any sign of it from the computer, but almost everytime i try to go to a website, it takes me to a search page.
e.g
i type in www.undergroundscene.co.uk

and it slows my pc down and takes me to

http://www.internet-optimizer.com/He...?s=&forumid=30

Can anyone help?

Sounds to me like you didn't delete it properly. Go to start > settings > control panel > add/remove programs and see if it's still there. If it is, remove it

If not, then scroll down a wee bit and find Microsoft Internet Explorer. Click on the add/remove button and use the repair function. If THAT doesn't work, then I have no fucking clue. I'll think of something.
