Browser Redirection

[Doug]

I have had a problem with IE browser being redirected to
an undesirable site. After running Microsoft AntiSpyware
it says that the spyware has been removed, but after
turning off the computer and restarting Windows the same
problem occurs. The MS AntiSpyware software gives a
warning about the browser being redirected, but by that
time the new (undesirable) address is already there. Any
suggestions on how to solve the problem permanently?

Try restarting the machine in safe mode, by pressing F8 before the initial
Windows screen appears. Do a full, deep scan, and repeat that until a scan
comes through clean. It isn't a bad idea to also do this with your
antivirus with up-to-date definitions.

Lets see then whether the issue returns.

If it does, you may need to post the URL you are referred to, so that we can
spot which bug is involved. Alternatively, you can download HijackThis, and
use it to create a log which you can post to a spyware forum where folks
skilled in reading those logs can tell you which lines to remove.
