Scumware help please!

[PCSWA]

Hello again everyone.

My latest and greatest problem at the moment is a viralent
scumware.

It has attached itself to my homepage(about:blank) and
opens to www.v61.com, which used to be an old porn site.
Have updated and run ad-aware, spybot, cwshredder, removed
the entries from the registry. I have also tried
zeropopup, which doesn't work.

I am frantically pulling my hair out at this at the
moment, and any help would be appreciated.

HAve done various searchs for this stuuff and tried a
couple of solutions, but only work once, then back to the
same scum homepage.

Many thanks once again Frank. I was able to go through the
log and remove all the little nasties, without posting it.

Thanks again.
