On my parent's PC, keeps redirecting to /nkvd.us

Spyware?
Adware?
How do you fix this?

 

[ThePresence]

Tell them to stop going to porn sites. Then clean out the spyware.

 

[CrackRabbit]

spyware or a trojan of some sort...
Format c: is your best option.

 

[KLin]

posting in the right forum would be a good start.

EDIT: oh yea, format c: is the only option.

Turn off computer.
Disconnect computer.
Drive to overpass.
Drop computer.
Problem solved.

Run Spybot S&D
Run Ad-Aware

Go to:
YourWindowsDirectory\system32\drivers\etc

Right-mouse-click on hosts (Open with Notepad) and remove other lines below
127.0.0.1 localhost

Then save it, make it "Read-Only" and reboot your computer.

That should fix any redirects.

 

[FoBoT]

delete the hosts file and check the run key for bad programs

I wonder if CWShredder will help?

You're a lifer, you know better than to post in OT! 😉

Geez, that's one malicious POS!

I even Googled a link to a possible lawsuit against that guy.

Thanks for all the anwers!
It is a nasty thing; and I am glad for help removing it for my parent's PC.
