[Web4lib] Help - Browser Hijack? Webpage hijack?

[Patricia F Anderson]

Hi, Sarah,

Sounds like Spyware to me.

<http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/hijacked/>
<http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1579>

Ask him what he installed recently, and run both virus updates and spyware 
removal software. This would also explain why it is only happening in one 
browser. Once you figure out what hijacked it, you *might* want to report 
it to Firefox also, although chances are that the only reason it targeted 
Firefox is that this is what he was using when it was running.

Good luck!
