How annoying Wrapper.z5x.net is!
Case one: It is suck that my browser is infected with Wrapper.z5x.net Virus. And I keep getting redirections when I work in the Internet. No matter how many times I reset my browser settings, Wrapper.z5x.net comes back again and again. I am really upset. :LCase two: My Dell Inspiron 600m has suddenly grown a mind. Upon boot, it simply boots. After a period of time, time varies, it opens Internet Explorer without prompting and redirects from the default home page (blank) to h t t p: / / wrapper.z5x.net/prepop.html?ad_type...
If I close IE, then reopen using the icon, it opens to msn.com (not the default home page).
It has Avast! anti-virus, which is up-to-date. It no longer has malware bytes. I know I installed Malware Bytes before it was brought to New Hampshire for the summer.
Is this a known issue? Is it malware? Is it virus? (No, I have not clicked on anything when it opens on its own. I close IE. Thank you
