how do get rid of this thing. i want to set my hopmepage
but i just can't. every time i restart my compute, that
spyware is still there and is affecting myborwser every
single time.
You can run MSAS, go to Tools-> Advanced Tools-> System Explorers-> Internet
Explorer / IE Settings (on the left) and then just set all the options you
need selecting them in the main window and using Change URL/page on the
right (remember to save the settings as default after you finish all
changes) or just choose to Restore all IE default settings.
However if the problem with changing homepage persists, start the computer
in the Safe mode (F8 during boot-up), run Windows Explorer, go to your
profile temporary folders (usually C:\Documents and Settings\username\local
settings\temp and c:\Documents and Settings\username\local
settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5) and delete all the files in
those directories and subdirectories.
Then do a full system scan with MS AntiSpyware (check the proper option
under Scan settings). Also using some other "cleaning" software such as:
Spybot Search&Destroy
