Hi, in spite of running spybot and hijackthis i can't seem to get rid of things from my computer. As you may have guessed i'm a bit of a novice with this stuff. Basically when launching IE i get about:blank searchpage, and links keep changing on hotmail addresses in my inboxes to 'other' sites. I'm also getting 'sexzone' programmes my desktop and quite frankly i'm ging insane and getting odd looks off g'f. can you help?!

Hi Dynamitedan,
Welcome at Computercops
We need a snapshot of your running processes..........but First:
Virus=Read This: http://www.computercops.biz/postt8864.html
HiJack= Read This: http://www.computercops.biz/postt911.html

Download : HiJack This!

Create and Unzip to a folder not your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
Unzip the download (using a piece of software like: Winzip)


When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log in a text file, and post it in the CCSP "Spyware - Hijack Related" forum:

http://computercops.biz/forum67.html


Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.
