IE6 Hijacked by porn

[Chris]

I was surfing the web and all of a sudden 20 pops ups came
up and IE6 closed everything and now I have a porn thing
on my desktop that will not go away and my homepage is set
to some site that says they are recording my information.


Any help please.

Thanks

Download Adaware and use it. Be sure to read the instructions though.

Its a free program.

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:

If nothing there helps, please post back to this thread.

.
uninstall ie then reinstall if this does not work get a

program that removes spy and adware also go to your
connections settings and if you are on dial up keep that
connection(should be easy to recognise) but if there is
another one eg. AdultXXX dialer then remove that.
