      Hi!

      Every time I startup my Opera 12.17 a tab opens with the address "http://www.hao123.com/?tn=92976674_hao_pg"
      I have searched all over for that string, even in my regbase (WinXP, yes i still use it) and deleted it everywhere i found it, but i can't get rid of it. Where in Opera does it hide, and is it possible to remove it forever ?

        It's a malware, so you need to find and delete the cause or it will keep reborning.

        Searching for "removing hao123" on google returns lots of results, one of them may help you.
