from MVP PA Bear:

"One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These
include but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro)."

So first examine what security software you have running and make
appropriate changes. If none of the above is applicable to you, do at
least some general malware scanning:

hi malke,

I run norton 360 as anti virus. I used ad-aware 2007 to remove problems. I
also used windows defender that remove a trojan that was making my internet
browser (IE7) get error message and hijack.

It is unclear from your reply whether things are working now or you are
giving us the recent malware history of the machine. If the latter, then
I would guess that either 1) your machine has not been completely
cleaned up and you should follow the steps at the link I gave you above;
or 2) the trojans damaged your operating system. If #2 is applicable to
you, then

thanks for your reply.

the story
I had to do a install repair after a big attack of virus and spyware. I was
missing important windows files. then after repair, internet explorer was
getting a error message and being redirected to wrong pages. Pa Bear
recommendated a battery of of removal. I did, no error message, 90% of the
time IE7 goes where it suppose to go.
But 10%?:(, cookies get set to accept all everytime. I run ad-aware 2007 and
removed 82 cookies and MRU at each scan. spyboot get some, windows defender
says cool no problem!!
But...
What do you think?

If the machine were in my shop I'd back up the client's data and do a
clean install. That way I'd be sure the machine would run right. Your
call, of course.
