Help! IE6 Registry Hacked

[Derek O'Harrow]

Hi there.

My registry settings for IE keep getting hacked (IE6 on WinXP Pro).

The registry key tree permissions for HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main... are
hacked such that I don't have access.

I am already running Norton Internet Security, Norton Anti-Virus, AdAware,
Spybot S&D and SpywareBlaster and none of these has fixed it.

I know I can manually fix this by logging in as Admin, and re-setting the
permissions, and then re-creating the tree, but this is quite painful.

(1) How can I tell what is causing this.
(2) How can I prevent it?
(3) How can I automatically fix the problem (e.g. a script).
(4) What should the correct permissions be on this tree?

Thanks!

Derek

use mozilla firefox at mozilla.org ..it is a stand
alone browser that is more secure against hijacks that are
programmed for ie
