IR hijack

[salbee2]

I've been nailed with a program which always opens as my home page when I open IE. I know the time it sneaked in and have removed all files with that date.

I've hunted it and eliminated anyhing that came in at the time, but I think it is hiding in registry.

Any suggestions????

Thanks--

Look at the Hijack This and see if you can tell what's going on...

I would check for malware as well:

Webroot Spysweeper

Download it here:

Webroot Spysweeper 14 day Trial

Update the defs and do a sweep.

Also check this out:

Ewido download:

Update it and run a complete scan.

I would also check it with some other virus scanners just to make sure.
