222734 2004-03-15 10:15:00 I get home and found out my cousin has been looking at pr0n on my computer. Now I my internet explorer homepage is getting changed to this : my-find or something and pr0n addresses are being added to my favourites.

I ran Spybot and Ad-Aware removed all spyware but the problem persists

for spyware/malware/foistware reference (doxdesk.com). This page contains a script that does a quick check for common parasites as well.

and get HijackThis (www.spywareinfo.com). A very useful tool for getting rid of stubborn homepage hijackers.

222738 2004-03-15 22:21:00 Start- programs- accessories- system tools and click on "disk cleanup" then tick them all and let it clean.

Also try downloading and using CWShredder from here (www.majorgeeks.com) as it may be a variant of CoolWeb.
