IE Problems, again...

[JC]

i had a problem with IE not wanting to keep the homepage
i set, and always setting back to "about:Blank". I got
some advice from a user here to run CWShredder, Adaware,
and Spybot, which i did, and it worked initially.

now, ever 5 or 6 times i start IE, it happens again!
CWShredder fixes the problem every time - it appears to
be something called "CWS.searchx"...but it's becoming
annoying having to run CWShredder every day...

any advice on getting rid of it for good?

thanks!

See "Recommended Security Settings" at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm You may be getting reinfected. Also
visit Windows Update. The last few updates for IE have blocked the exploit
which CWS uses. Additional security tips at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/security.htm

If these steps don't help, go to http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm See #7
and post a HijackThis log for analysis.

Hope this helps,
