Hijacker Spyware

[David Franklin]

I am being Hijacked on a daily basis by a new unknown
element that sets my browser to "www.msn.com", and
disconnects my address bar in IE.

I have the most up to date version of the MS Anti-Spyware
Beta, the latest version of Spyware Doctor, and the latest
version of Symantec's Antivirus software.

I even tried re-installing IE, to no avail.

What is this, and what do I need to do? I am running
Windows 2000 Pro. (currently fully updated via Windows
Update)

Get HijackThis.exe from
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe

Save it to C:\hjt (new folder) then Open it and select
Scan and Save Log. Note where you saved the log then send
it to Ron Kinner as an attachment. He can probably
identify the problem and tell you how to get rid of it for
good.

Ron email address. (e-mail address removed)
He will tell you what to do next. Put Hijack in the
subject so he will know it's not spam.
