Hi,

I have a system that was hit with some spyware, malware etc, and am
having a hard time removing everything. One thing is that IE is being
redirected to a porn website. Where is the place in the registry that I can
look to se if i cam manully remove this BHO. I've tried many anti-spyware
programs but to no avail, (Spysweeper, Regblock, BHO Daemon and more)

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve :-)

You have a nasty hijacker. Download, install and run all the following in
Safe Mode. Even if you have already run some programs, run them again
according to the instructions in the information below to thoroughly clean
you system. Some variants of malware can replicate itself and return
repeatedly if not cleaned properly. It is best to read through all the
information before you start to know before hand what you need to do and
how. Follow all instructions to letter as much as possible.
