Redirecting site giving me headaches!!!!!!!!!!

[JMT74]

Hi, I am trying to help my brother with a computer he got from a friend for free. First of all it had Norton on it and was causing problems right from the start. I uninstalled that finally. I then installed AVG and did a scan. It found 53 trojans and it fixed them. I then installed ZoneAlarm free. However there is this one problem that is ticking me off. Some site called http://turboinet.com is redirecting whatever I type into the address bar and they go to some porn site or when I type in google it says on the page Domani is being abused or something like that. So how do I get rid of this entry I am guessing it is somewhere in the registry and I probably have to manually get rid of it. Someone tell me how. Thanks.

That is a bad link or something.

sorry.. seems they moved the the link or something...

if you'd go to the main page of this forum, you'd see a subgroup named "Security and the Web"
the one i linked to was the first one, but you may as well read the other threads marked READ as well while you're there....

sounds to me like it could be some spyware that got installed when you put avg or zone alarm on. try downloading spybot search & destroy and lavasoft ad-aware and see if you get anything. avg is only for viruses so it won't find any spyware. i use both these programs and find them to be quite good.
let us know how it goes.

I would recomment following the instructions I just gave you in the link above. It will give you a complete hosedown of your system, and includes running those programs anyway.
