homepage problems

[Guest]

everytime I open my explorer i see a cannot find C:windows/secure.html. bubble. I set my homepage to yahoo, but it never works. I've done virus scans but nothing helps. I even reinstalled windows XP. Why can't I get my homepage to open
?

You dont have a virus you have scumware try ad-aware and

spybot both are free,update both before each use

Scan for 'intruders'. These programs may find them, and give you the
option to remove...

Hi obrien,

Download the utility CWshredder:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Unzip - close *all* instances of IE & OE, hit the executable and
follow
the prompts.


You can also download Hijack This from here:

http://www.mjc1.com/files/merijn/hijackthis.exe

Go here:

http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

For instructions on how to use it; you have to post the log it
produces so experts tell you what is good and what is malware


Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.

Ad-aware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

Spybot S&D
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download


If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm .

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program. It
is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and give you
the ability to disable them.

Good luck, hope this helps.

I have the same problem and I have both spyware and spy-bot search and destroy. Neither has helped.
