    Default Problem with Internet Explore default settings

    I have been running an Internet cafe for the past eight months. Recently I started facing problem with Internet Explorer's default settings. The option where the home page address was set to default as .Google. for past one month is automatically changing to 'http://hl.ripway.com/poojasharma/ index.html'. When I start Internet Explorer, the home page mentioned above opens and the net slows down. Also my system has become very slow. As per my service engineer's advice, I formatted my system twice, but the problem reoccurs within 15 - 25 days. I am presently locking my system with Deep Freeze version 5.0. I am not using any antivirus. Please advise me. Thanking You.

    Hello.As you mention that you are running a Cybercafe and your systems are not running any antivirus, you are bound to get issues such as these, People come to the cybercafe and browse through numerous pages which might contain viruses and malware, but are not usually bothered about it. Installing an antivirus, internet security suite and antispyware will help you to avoid such problems in future.Presently to get rid of the browser hijack in your system, you can use HijackThis.exe and scan and clean the registry. But this will not guarantee that the virus will be removed unless you have a good antivirus installed on your system.

    I would advise you to format your computer completely and install fresh copies of the operating system and all software and antivirus and finally make a copy of the hard drive using Norton Ghost. Whenever you face a problem that might take time to rectify, you can just use the ghost file and refresh all the data on your computer. In this way, you can save time and trouble too.
