anyone else have this? no clue where it's come from, and it won't go away.
i've done :
- gone through my registry to change my URL prefixes
- ran ad-aware, won't pick it up.
- ran spybot, won't pick it up.
- ran the ehttp:// uninstaller tool, problem goes away for about a half an hour.

im sure this is the reason why i can't see any posts for about a minute after i type and why im still stricken by pop ups.

google toolbar can be set to kill popups.
mozilla has built in popup controll.

as for getting rid of the thing, I've never heard of it.

Strange, will post research later.

it comes up w/ http://ehttp://?www.google.com

and deacon, read the content of what i wrote. ad-aware has been tried.

it's also jnot a matter of wanting the pop ups gone. its more of a matter tht i want whatever is on

Check Internet options/Temp. Internet Files/Settings/View Objects. remove anything you don't need. Heck, you could clear everything and be just fine. you'll have to re-install flash if needed, and windows update will haveto be re-installed, but thats ok. Also delete temp.internet files and cookies.

RESEARCH:

never seen http://ehttp://?www.whatever.com in particular.
but my mom had http://somespyware.com/?www.whatever.com.

searching for ehttp:// brings up nothing.

Pwned by spyware

You have updated the definitions for both ad-aware and spybot haven't you?

It's not ehttp://, but http://ehttp.cc/?www.url.com that he's probably getting. It's a spyware called Find4U in that case.

bloody hell....
i went to the reg to get rid of ehttp:// like i have to daily, now regedit isnt opening. it opens for half a second and goes away.
btw, i cant reformat, my brother left the disks back in the city we used to live in.

and also, yes, spybot & ad aware were just reinstalled last week.

Reinstalled, OK. But did you update? Ad-Aware, for example, currently installs with signature files from around May or June, if I recall correctly.

Umm...
VIRUSes block regedit and taskmanager...

I've never heard of spyware doing that. Are you sure you don't have more than meets the eye?

I suggest you first download the very latest version of CWShredder.
Run it, press 'Fix', and allow it to fix all it finds.

Next, go to http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/ , and download 'Hijack This!'.
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log somewhere, and please PM me w/its contents, I'll PM ya back w/what to fix to remove it.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
