308538 2004-12-29 07:10:00 I.E. 6 has been taken over by 69sexsearch.com. (some sort of pop-up?)
I get multiple sessions self start (87 record to date) at once and very hard to stop.
Also makes itself the home page!!!

I have Zone Alarm (freeware version build 3.7.202) running but did not pick up any-thing.
Ad-aware run -no help.
EasyCleaner run – no help
Pest Patrol run –no help (but did clean out a lot)
Spy-Bot S&D run – no help

how do I find what is running this and get rid of it
Thanks

308539 2004-12-29 07:17:00 If thats a hijacker try this www.simplysup.com
and use update to update it. Install it run then scan...

It isnt free but it has an option to reset ie settings for hijacked browsers.
And also has an option to rest the hosts file if this thing u have stuffs the hosts file up.

308540 2004-12-29 07:45:00 First clean out with Ccleaner ( www.ccleaner.com )
Then run CWShredder ( www.majorgeeks.com )
Then run Hijackthis ( www.spywareinfo.com )

Also, you can utilise Spybot S&D tools.

Open Spybot, go, mode-advanced.
Click on Tools, then tick all the boxes.
Click on ( Left side) startup, and untick anything listed there that is not valid.
Click on (Left side) BHO and remove any.
Click on Browser Pages and change any that do not refer to IE.
Click on Hosts file, and remove all but localhost.
And on IE TWeeks, you can lock up the file.

Good luck, and if you need to clarify anything, just post back here. I or others will assist you.

Stu,

After you have dealt with this, or even before, do your self a big favour .

Get Firefox 1 and all the add blocking Ect you can find . Many here will help you with this .

These MicroScam diseases will get continually worse and harder to deal with .

Eventually some will start to attack Firefox but their task will be much harder as Firefox runs, as IE should .

As an application on top of the O/S, not as a core part of the O/S .
