![]() Norton is my first line of information/defense but it, too, was disabled after a few preliminary scans. Realizing that the destruction of my Yahoo Pop-Up blocker, and a flood of pop-up ads, at the rate of some dozens per minute, the considerable majority advertising Microsoft Anti-spyware/adware, indicated a possibly serious attack, I brought out the full bag of tricks and went to work. But far more happened than the simple download of the SearchMiracle/EliteBar adware. The blog I was directed to, at the time my computer was attacked, was called "Cut Me Deep". In the meantime, I will not be clicking on the "next blog" icon in the near future. My computer was hijacked! Sure enough, Ad-aware (from lavasoft) indicated that my computer had been infected with the Search Miracle/Elite Bar virus.I sent Blogger an e-mail to investigate. When I re-opened my browser it went to a different home page. I immediately closed all of my browsers, but it was too late. I started getting messages about system resources, etc. Pop-ups immediately appeared on my computer immediately after I visited the nana blog, even though I have a pop-up blocker installed. One of the hits was nana***. (the actual name has numbers in place of the astisks). Yesterday I was surfing the web on my home computer and hit the "next blog" icon a few times to see what's out there. ![]()
