    Porn virus help please!

    On my computer recently which runs on Windows XP operating system was getting a pop up of internet security virus and malware. When I checked out the web browser and i found in the history that there was 5 to 6 porn sites from the last two days. I removed the links, and then i rebooted my internet explorer, but what i saw that these sites came up again. I don't think that there is something wrong with the explorer, and also i am doubt that there is a virus on my computer which may have transmitted from these porn sites. Pleae help me whenever i open the browser, these porn sites open automatically.

    As you have stated your problem, i am sure that this is the problem of the virus by which you are facing this problem. I think you need to download the HijackThis from the website which provides this and then you need to save it on your usb flash drive.

    To remove the virus follow the steps:

    1. You need to have HijackThis on a usb flash drive from a good computer
    2. Then install on the infected computer, but before you so this you need to turn off the net connection.
    3. After that run the program, in between you will be asked to reconnect to the net
    4. Then finally done

    Once you register HijackThis, you will have 30 days of free trial.

    As you have stated that there were links of the porn sites in the history. This issue is uncommon that a link which is in the history without you have visited the site. But i am sure that this can be done by a malicious program. There might be a virus on your computer which is transmitted from these porn sites links and you need to remove these from the computer with the help of the updated antivirus..

    The problem which you are facing on your computer is definitely related to the virus and this thing is to be removed from you computer. So i think you need to have the updated antivirus on your computer and then with the help of it you need to scan your computer with full system scan. I can suggest you to have Avast Antivirus on your computer and with it try to scan your computer and remove the virus which is causing the problem.

    I can suggest you to remove this virus from your computer by using portable Firefox. You need to run from a USB stick and then leaves no traces in the computer used. This method is used for both privacy and for computer safety. I think you need to have the best technique for removing the virus from your computer and also you can have a security software and internet security which can help you for the future virus infection.
