HELP ! My Browse's Been Hijacked !

[Blewyn]

My browser has been hijacked thanks to MSGPlus, a supposedly kosher add-on
for MSN Messenger. I now have many new links in my favourites, but I can't
delete them - when i right-clikc nothing happens, and when I open the
favourites folder in explorer (including default user) they aren't there.

Have run both Adaware and Antispyware but the favourites are still there.

Help !

- Get HijackThis.exe from:
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe
- Save it to C:\hjt (new folder)
- Open it and select "Scan and Save Log"
- Send it to Ron Kinner as an attachment
- Ron's email address is (e-mail address removed)
- Put Hijack in the subject so he knows it's not spam

OK did that and sent the message, thanks. I also downloaded and ran spybot,
and it is now catching attempted changes to my search page URL about every
40 seconds. The full scan doesn't remove the spyware. Each time the change
is attempted the URL is different so even if I turn on 'remember this
decision' it still pops up with a dialogue box every 40 seconds.
