I have a computer that the IE browser has been taken over by a website called hornyspacesmarketing.com or something like that. I thought it was spy ware as I have downloaded a couple of things. However after running spybot and some other hyjacking software, it still persist at taking over my browser. I have gone into the properties of IE and deleted files, history and cookies, then reset the default home page address.

Still each time I reboot the computer it takes over. I suspect now it is in my registry. How do I get rid of this?

Thanks in advance.

You will need to edit your registry. Do a search for the page. You will be suprised how many times it will appear.
