Closiing IE changes home page setting

[Liz]

When closing Internet Explorer (ver 6.0.2800.1106), some
bug changes the Internet Properties Home Page setting from
http://www.msn.com to about:blank. How can I correct this?

AdAware - spyware removal tool, check for updates after downloading, then
run it, remove all red items.

Run CWShredder - close all Browser Windows and running
applications - unzip the tool, click on the executable and follow
the prompts.

This appears to be a brand-new exploit and I suspect you have a file
called PBBGO.DLL on your system.

I don't think CWSHREDDER will help, but HijackThis! will. Download it,
run it, and remove all references to PBBGO.DLL.

Fortunately, it seems a new exploit confined to IE only.
