For some unknow reason, I've been inflicted with what appears to be an "AD"
from
MS each time I open IE6. The result of this is an attempt to change the
"First Home Page"
in IE6. This is the URL --
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
I've verified that my home page is set to the ISP web page (Tools - IE
options) and
in the registry. LavaSoft's AdWatch considers it as a possible "Browser
HiJack" item
and starts displaying Registry alerts, none stop !!. I can disable the
monitoring
function of AdWatch and it ceases to be a problem; but then, I'm
theoretically
exposing myself to the risk of a true HiJack event.
I can also stop the problem by disabling "Resident Protection" within the
SpyBot S&D program.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated !!!!!!
