Spybot.

$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
i've had to disinfect somethig like this before.
not using Internet Explorer is a great start in fixing things.
Firefox is much better. Faster than IE, blocks popups, and isnt subject to security attacks like IE is.
It also works properly, whereas IE doesn't.Originally Posted by JimLad

adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Spybot S&D already linked.
& a better browser - Opera for me but Mozilla/Firefox is fine too.
Ah, the program that wasn't updated for ages even though they programmers knew it broke the TCP/IP protocol "fixing" a particular adware? I presume they've improved since then, but I haven't used it since that fiasco.

just running adaware (2nd time) the home page still goes to this... res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049
ok here is what is loading... i have run spybot and adaware, they both found bad stuff but still the home page changes and other weird pop ups... i'm hoping it's not a virus
jupitco looks dodgy
no wait, jupitco is supposedly a flash media reader driver
image.dll seems iffy

yep, that's the baddie.
you'll need to stop that from loading, kill the file, then make a whole load of changes to the registry to get things behaving as they used to
just think, if you didn't use an IE-based browser this wouldn't have happened.
Download 'Hijackthis ' (Google it)
Reboot the pc into safe mode, run hijackthis,
tick the entry in the hijack this that corrsponds with the nasty browser bar
delete it
re-boot.
i use mozilla.. but for ie6 i use the google toolbar. its free and is a small download. it blocks pop-ups and has various good search fields aswell.
