Hi all, I downloaded 7 zip on a page that has always been reliable.Well it gave me crap in my startup page on foxfire and IE. Here is what it says when ever I open my broswer. http://search.findwide.com/?guid={97C4E76E-A66E-4060-908D-B11223C757CA}&serpv=22

I ran Malwarebytes to see if could get rid of it. It did show up on there I deleted it but it won't go away.

I have windows Basic 64 bit

Any ones help would be great!!

Thanks:)

Check you installed programs in the control panel and delete it if it's in there. Next uninstall FF and reinstall it and with IE reset it to default settings then reboot and see what you get.

7zip has an official website. Don't go to "pages that are reliable", especially download sites, whatever your experience has been with them. Most of their software can be uploaded by any user, so you can't have assurances that it is safe. Go to the official site : 7-Zip or the sourceforge one : 7-Zip | Free Security & Utilities software downloads at SourceForge.net.

The latest 32 bit exe installer for 7zip has these hashes (to calculate them you can use HashTab tool to quickly find file hash information) :
7z920.exe
MD5: B3FDF6E7B0AECD48CA7E4921773FB606
SHA1: 55283AD59439134673FC32FC097BDD9AE920FBC6

Barney thanks so much it fixed it. Take care and Happy New Year!!!

I have another issues maybe you might know about. I keep having this thing pop up telling me I need to connect my drive and save my history. I have no clue what that means or why it is popping up. Every since I got it back from Hp it has been doing that. I am like what the heck it that.

You probably have some HP "backup" utility installed and that's popping up the "nag screen" you're seeing.
