Hey.

A couple of hours ago, I was redirected to a \*\*\*\* site from some gay thing and the computer went crazy, then Norton’s picked up a couple of virus’s, but removed them. After that, the home page on Internet Explorer turned to a blue page with this address: C:\WINDOWS\secure.html  
And has this on it.

The links take me to this site: [http://www.privacyoutpost.com/enter.html?wm=sher](http://www.privacyoutpost.com/enter.html?wm=sher)

It’s a site with a program that costs $50 and says will protect me.  
Now, my question is, should I worry about this? It’s freaking me out because as soon as I change the homepage, it changes right back. It also says I’m using Mozilla, which I don’t. I use MSN Explorer, and sometime IE, but unless MSN is mozilla, then no. I’ve tried Adaware 6 and it found somethings, which it removed, but still the problem remains. I also ran SpyBot search and destroy, which found and fixed some things, but still, the problem remains.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. Don’t \*\*\*\*ing say “Oh what are you doing looking at \*\*\*\*?” because I wasn’t. I clicked on a picture that I found on a google image search, so don’t even think about it or I’ll crack the serious sloppy \*\*\*\*s.
