Angelfire redirect

What was the cause of this? Was it the audiogalaxy program or something else?

You may want to look into NoScript. A very helpful firefox extension.

It seems that it was Audiogalaxy, nothing else in the log looked to be related to that kind of problem.

Noscript blocked way too much shit, always had to 'allow' crap and i got tired of messing with it, usually am fine with adblockplus...

yea, really am wondering what the deal with audiogalaxy was, didnt really use it any more so no big deal to delete it just wonder how/what infected it...

(btw, gonna edit those logs out of my posts, dont see any reason for them to stay. will leave thread open though, hard telling who else it might help
 
I've been too busy to help but it looks like everything ToastPwnz killed off the issue. 8)

"If" something is redirecting you in the future open a command line and type: netstat -an this will show current connections and port numbers they are using. From there you can select the redirect IP and just add it to a firewall deny/block rule until you find out what is going on.

According to its entry on SystemLookup, it has some adware programs packaged with it.

SystemLookup - Audiogalaxy
 
It seems the other profile on my pc is having redirect issues also. havent had time to look at it yet though, *thought* i completely got rid of audiogalaxy so not sure what the dealio is
 
You should give NoScript a chance IMO. And unlike Fallout 3, I'm serisouly gonna try and talk you into this :D

Best thing to do with NoScript is train it. Whitelist the sites you trust permanently and after awhile the hassle factor is not a big deal.

Also make sure to show the add-ons bar at the bottom, and customize it with the "temporarily allow all this page" button.

LOL!!

I gave up on it pretty easily... after i get this redirect issue completely stamped out then *maybe* :p
 
Well i I figured out when the initial infection left behind. The other profile has NO extensions in firefox, so when i saw XUL Cache 1.0 on the list i knew something was up. Removed it and redirects stopped completely:D

When i went back to my desktop to remove it it completely looked up firefox. I'm on a rare visit with chrome right now. Don't wanna kill the process cause i have like 9 tabs open for research (helping SO with homework.)
