For the past week, a site called “nightshadeinteractive.com”, which I’ve never visited nor Googled, hijacks my home page, ighome.
Ighome had server issues (now resolved) last week and this may have started at the same time.
In Firefox, my default browser, it keeps taking over even when I type in “ighome.com” in the URL box and refresh. In Chrome, I can stop the hijack by doing this…although it does hijack ighome initially. I just tried it on IE (rarely use it); it doesn’t occur there. The page opens on msn.com which I’ve never set as a home page.
UPDATES:
1. it is now re-hijacking Chrome when I try to update and save gadgets on ighome.
2. Just noticed a “Buy this domain” in upper right corner of the nightshade page.
This occurs on my PC running Windows 7, SP1, but does not occur on my laptop running the same system. So that suggests it has something to do with my computer rather than ighome. Correct?
I ran UltraFile Search, but nothing showed up.
Any ideas on how to correct this? I am very concerned as this is a first for me.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Linda
