Hi last week i have been attacked by a spyware which keeps changing my
homepage to blank. Although i scanned my pc with antivirus and many available
anti-spyware programs, my home page will read :
http://www.theguardservices.com/#
and says that my private info is collected by W32.Sinnaka.A@mm.

This is just driving me crazy as i tried many solutions, ending up with
nothing.
Any help pls

Thanks and regards

Matthew Abela

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

Ok I tried Hijackthis and it worked (finally). I removed one of the registry
values which was creating my problem and VOILA!!!

I really appreciate your feedback guys. Thanks Richard and PA.

I *strongly* urge you to post your HijackThis log to an appropriate forum.
Despite your current joy, the machine may still be infected! And if not,
there's still some cleanup you should address.
