| 230820 | 2004-04-21 11:37:00 | Do what Pheonix suggested and run CWShredder. | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
| 230821 | 2004-04-21 11:59:00 | After you download and unzip cwshredder, use the FIX button. Then use the Scan button to check it got it. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 230822 | 2004-04-21 21:36:00 | Done Originally running AdAware did NOT clear the problem but last night I updated AdAware and ran again with success, it seems Just shows the value of keeping security programs up to date as well as running them. Building upon this my next project will be to thoroughly test ZoneAlarm for various ports being open and to double check ALL settings in Zone Alarm and to REcheck all security settings in Internet Explorer Thanks everyone and to the authors of the FAQs and for the other product 'tips' which I shall also be checking |

| 230824 | 2004-04-21 23:09:00 | If you have installed Spybot S & D you can open it up and under tools I think it is you can "lock homepage". That is you can specify what homepage to have in IE and stop others taking it over. Well, at least make more of an obstacle. HTH :) |
