When I open IE 6 browser my home page is redirected to media.deskwhizz.com. I
have Spydoctor installed on the laptop. I have scanned and scanned for the
infection but to no avail . It stays there. I googled it and one suggestion
was the Spydoctor. Any help would be appreciated.
Clear your caches, Internet files and delete cookies, then Open the Windows
Explorer and locate this path:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc = look in the Right Pane/window for this
file called the HOSTS file but not the one with the extension *.SAM* leave
this as is.
If you can't see it try to click Tools >> Folder Options and select show
Hidden files and folder, then right Click the Hosts file and select open with
Notepad.
There see any reference for that site and remove it, you Hosts file will
looks like this:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # Source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # Client Host
127.0.0.1 LocalHost
------------------------------------------
Remove all other References other than those above.
Download the Spybot from here:

If you can't edit it then the Spydoctor is locking this File go through the
configuration option and uncheck it.
HTH.
Let us know.
