I'm writing this post because I'm a bit worried about my computer and I don't know how to solve the problem, I hope some of you can help me.
I don't know why a porn website appears everyday in my computer without my permission, it's not a pop-up because it doesn't appear when I open a concret website. It appears without touching anything in my computer. But the most strange thing is that it only takes place at night (frightening, isn't it? :wink: )...I'll put an example:
Last night I left my computer on because I was downloading some videos. I went to bed and the only program running was GetRight, nothing else. This morning when I've waken up, I've seen this porn website opened seven times! In fact, it's not the porn site, it's only the first window which asks you if you want to enter to this web but I'm a bit frightened because I don't want to enter there accidentally and have to pay a big amount of money... :?
I tried to delete the temporal archives, to delete this address from the explorer history...but nothing works...
And what is more, during the day I've tried to go to this web because I wanted to know if there is a disconnection button but it doesn't work!

The site is this: http://127.0.0.1:8081/index.html?

Sorry about the length but I have to solve my lack of English knowledgement with long explanations.
I hope you can help me! :roll:

Do you have ad-aware or spybot ? Because obviously a spyware open this for you.
It would be good to have a firewall too ...

sorry for my lack of knowledge in computers but I don't know what's a ad-aware or a spybot. :oops: Perhaps if you explain me their function I'd know if I have one of them... :roll:
Which fireball do you recommend me?

I am not an expert too but some programs can be installed on your computer when you visit some site (especially porn :wink: ) without that you know it, they are spyware and can do several things from opening windows to spying what you are doing or taping.
To see if such programs are on your PC and remove them you need programs like ad-aware or spybot search and destroy.

And buy or download a firewall too, it's to avoid intrusions on your computer like Trojans.

Ad-aware

Spybot

They are free for personal use and updates on AdAware are daily and others from time to time, and don't forget to download update after installing(there is a button with "check for update or something").

Well, I've tried all that you recommended me but nothing works... :x I've installed Ad-aware, Spybot Search and Destroy and also I've installed a firewall...I don't know what to do! :(
Can it be a problem caused by e-Mule? uninstall e-Mule is the only thing I haven't tried yet.

These kind of program are usually listed in the add/remove option in the control panel. Search there...usually called something like "eroconnect" etc.

Uninstalling eMule won't solve the problem.

I've looked at the add/remove option but nothing strange appears...thank you anyway Fleischmann :wink:

In that case download a program called RegCleaner...it's freeware and it will definatelly solve the problem.

How funny... you have a webserver on your PC serving up pages from port 8081, that is auto-launching on the loopback address... almost sounds like you have IIS or Apache installed and thats the admin page... :P

Seems to me you started messignw tih some stuff you didn't quite understand and it came back to haunt you... ;)

Looks like your pc got hijacked into serving porn site for someone. Probably your IP has appeared on various spams around the world.

Download Hijack This from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
and run a scan.
