200592 2003-12-15 01:51:00 Hello

Recently, it seems that something keeps changing my default homepage to www.if6.net. I have never been to this site before and have run ad-aware v6 to no avail. Does anyone know anything about this bug and how to remove it?

200595 2003-12-15 02:00:00 try running spybot as well. Definitely sounds like spyware to me. Are you running a firewall and uptodate anti-v? Always pays to do a full system scan when secret nasties start popping up out of nowhere as well.

200596 2003-12-15 02:26:00 A few months ago, I came across a prog called "Browser Hijack Blaster" Supposed to stop anyone hi-jacking your home page. It's running on this machine, but doesn't give a home address. A quick search on Google should find it.
