my computer got hijacked.. now, whenever i search up something (vmkf, vmk, anything at all)
it gives me all these links to bad sites, and nothing about my actual search.
Now i can only get to sites i have on favorites- and this is sooo annoying
can someone please tell me how to get rid of this virus?! please hurry..

You might try clearing your cookies and deleting your internet files. If you have virus catching/deleting software on your computer, I would suggest running a scan.

If that doesn't fix it, I know something that will fix it...but I doubt that you'd want to do it (except as a last-resort). Reformatting your computer.

reformat your hard drive, use linux? try bsd?. all the above will completely rid you of a virus.
