I am constantly at odds with a virus that hijacks my browsers. It goes by the name "Yoursites123".
A few months back I had cleaned it out of Chrome and it worked just fine - until last week. Now the browser keeps hanging, forcing me to re-boot and employ that peculiar Chrome-special shortcut
For a change, I switched back to Explorer and found that the earlier clean-up exercise had no impact on browsers other than Chrome. So when I got down, once again, to the step-by-step process for removing Yoursites123, a bigger problem surfaced - there were other bugs lurking in the dark corners.
Like the soot-balls in a Miyazaki movie, these turned up when I cast the following spell on the command-line:
127.0.0.1 down.baidu2016.com
127.0.0.1 123.sogou.com
127.0.0.1 www.czzsyzgm.com
What are these bugs doings in my machine? How do I get rid of them?
So far, all the online help available points you to some fancy sofware, which may again contain other new viruses. How do I figure the difference between online frauds and the do-gooders?
