haksaigho.com is killing my pc

Hello @Olderthandirt,

Welcome to TenForums.

To start with, I would:

> Run MalwareBytes.
> Clear the Browser Cache.
> Flush the DNS.

I hope this helps.

Hello, @Olderthandirt.

I agree with the above post by @Paul Black.

Here is the link for Malwarebytes Free Scanner

The Norton antivirus could be causing the connection problem, uninstall it to see problem resolves.

Completely Uninstall Norton software using:

• 
  NRnR.exe

Instructions

1. Please download and save NRnR.exeto your desktop.
2. Close all programs and double click on the tool.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Restart the computer if asked.
5. Then delete the NRnR.exe tool from your desktop.
6. Open the Program Files folder on your local disk ( normally C: )
7. Find and delete the following folders (if present):
   
   • Norton AntiVirus
   • Norton Internet Security
   • Norton SystemWorks
   • Norton Personal Firewall

@Olderthandirt

All nonsense advice you got re haksaigho.com ! (Glad not M.D.'s here and you the patient!)

DON'T UNINSTALL YOUR AV!

Has it not occurred to anyone here that the domain might be down? No longer in existence?
You sure all are "putting the gear on the horse starting from the rear"!
{And then wonder when you get pair of hoofs smacked in your face!)
Shame on you!

Hello @Olderthandirt

Although it appears as if the offending URL to IP translations/routings have been removed from some of the global DNS nameservers, if top-tier malware removal installed scanners have not found/removed the root cause, follow-up scans with other competent/respected scanners need to be run next. This will assume you have successfully run the MBAM Threat scan and AdwCleaner in default modes.

e.g., not limited to: Microsoft Safety Scanner, ESET Online Scanner, Trend Micro HouseCall, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020, etc.

Please save the scan results and let this subforum know the status of that computer after running the supplementary scanners.

Thank you.

I have problems going to just about any site.

Although Norton antivirus is cheaper than other plans, it's not the best option if you're looking for something to keep all your devices safe. It doesn't accurately detect wide range of Viruses.

The Microsoft Windows Defender is a next-generation protection solution that comes with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Microsoft Defender antivirus is pretty safe. It has almost 100% real-time protection rates, according to independent tests. It also has additional features for device protection against malware, such as scanning, app and browser control, and account protection options.
