404580 2005-11-15 19:29:00 Since a few days ago, something tries to change the homepage on my computer to Http://homepage.main-hosting.com on every startup.

(The actual website takes you to a poorly written page about how your computer is infected with spyware and to download their program)

Spyware guard detects it on startup and asks me If I want to change back, so I click yes.

I have scanned for spyware/adware but haven't found anything. Trend micro's free spyware scanner picked up a few things but they were associated to OK programs, like eMule, DC++ etc...

Does anyone know anything about this??? (and hopefully how to get rid of it)
