phuturatica Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I appear to have had my browser hijacked by v9.com browser hijacker. Is there an easy way to remove this from my computer? I am on Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack 1 if that is of any use. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That's quite interesting to me. Just today I noticed that on my computer. I have no idea how it got there. I went to control panel and it was listed in the programs, both a program and a tool bar. I uninstalled them both and ran both Spy Bot, and my antivirus program. Neither found anything. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Google v9.com Plenty of advice there http://www.google.co...extMenu&ie=&oe= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Same here. Even though I have ThaiVisa set as the home page Chrome always opens with V9. Cannot seem to find a way to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, so good. I have just tried that and I'm currently running antivirus now. When I googled it, there seems to be talk of delting certain registry files and I didn't wanna delete anything I wasn't supposed to so I thought I'd ask on here first. Hopefully this will work though! Same here. Even though I have ThaiVisa set as the home page Chrome always opens with V9. Cannot seem to find a way to get rid of it. You should try and do what @Gary A did as it appears to have gone away on mine. Just running antivirus programs now. Also... You have your home page set to ThaiVisa?

So far, so good. I had this with windows XP two weeks ago. I draged the internet Explorer Icon from the start menu onto desktop page then deleted the Icon with V9. Might not work for you but it did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
