# Hi there sexy lady
...know anything about browser jacking (or rather, homepage loading to something other than what is set in your options)?

In what way, how it's done or how to stop it?

# How to stop it
My laptop has been used by the missus' dad over the weekend and last I heard he was complaining how shit it was being, all slow and non-compliant, oh and whenever he loaded a new window (after closing mine on a whim, including all the ongoing interests I keep to be dealt with, as well as the many regular tabs) it went to a spammy game site despite what my options were set to.

How strange that said site somehow had his distintive login name pre-filled. Nothing to do with the dubious site though, couldn't be, he has money on it.

# Download the program HijackThis
And google for a tutorial. You'll need to use HijackThis to get a log, then find someone willing to expolain what each process is/whether it's a problem (there are some forums dedicated to it). You can work it out yourself by googling each one but it'd be better to get an expert's help.

# Thanks :)
I'll try a few standard bits and pieces, make sure it isn't something easily and quickly solvable, then I'll be getting around to pretty much this. I'm so tired this weekend, I only just managed to bite my tongue on some serious grumpiness when I realised I was probably going to have to be jumping through these kind of hoops!
