facemoods naffin up my laptop

i don't know where it's come from but everytime i try to look at a website, no matter which one it is it keeps flicking onto something called facemoods, it looks like some sort of search engine, its bloody annoying when you're trying to look at something, i asked Reece if he'd downloaded it and he said he hadn't, i've uninstalled it from 'programs' (so someone has installed it) but it's still coming up, i don't know wtf it's all about but its really peeing me off, anyone know anything about it?

i'm running Firefox atm, has that anything to do with it?

I got something like that last week Shaz when my computer went Kaput, it was working okay, but when I logged onto Accy Web, it kept jumping to a Dell information page, like you I was tearing my hair out. When I booted up next morning an information screen said a start up problem had been detected, due to new hardware, and then went into repair mode, it been fine ever since, hope you get it sorted soon, its flaming annoying

I have found that each AV - whatever name/type, always seem to pick up a few different ones. I use AVG, Advanced Systems, AdAware and Spybot. Run AVG every day and the others once or twice a week, depending how the m/c is running. Never had serious problems at all for the last 18 months (new LT then).
Good luck, hope you get it sorted soon.

WikiAnswers - How uninstall face moods

Seems such a simple answer, I wonder, are you going to prove them wrong?

Good luck with it, it is irritating when these companies make the software easy to install but impossible to get rid of.
