Have I got it wrong? Searchmiracle

I have been having mega problems with my pc lately - its till very poorly and one of its invaders is 'Searchmiracle'.

I've noticed on a couple of links (properties) that they are 'Searchmiracle' sites.

Is it a safe site? just be wary clicking on links.

I might be completely wrong but better safe than sorry!

Hi Joolstide,
SearchMiracle is part of a piece of spyware called "Elite Toolbar". There are instructions on how to remove it on this site . It's quite an involved process though. While it's running you can't really trust all your web browser is saying as it "hijacks" various functions.

I suspect they are not really searchmiracle links. I think searchmiracle in your browser may be altering them for you. Do you have an example of a thread with a link that looks like a searchmiracle link?

Yes, unfortunately, that's one of the things these things do. They read web pages you look at as your computer displays them, and then turn certain words into links.
