IE 6.0 hijacked??? redirected???

[Howard]

I have Windows XP Home with MSIE 6.0. For the last few
days I have been having trouble logging into some
websites. Some sites just give me a not found error and
some have begun taking me to a site called "pornochicks",
which seems to be a jumpsite for a bunch of adult
websites.

I have been having problems with the pepsi
websites "billionsweeps.com" and "dewu.com". Both
require a signon through Yahoo. I am unable to login to
these sites. The browser just sits at the login screen.
I originally was unable to access the dewu.com or
billionsweeps.com websites. I contacted Comcast thinking
it was a DNS issue. They ran me through some browser
resets and some Lan setting changes and I was able to get
to the sites but have been unable to log in.

I have read the article on "Unwanted Spyware and
Parasites". I had been prviously using Ad-Aware and
Spybot. I have installed latest versions and also run
MCAffe Firewall and Norton Antivrus. I added
Spywareblaster and WinPatrol Startup monitor. I also ran
Hijackthis and so far NOTHING seems to be working to fix
this problem.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is very
frustrating.

Hi,
Have you run CWShredder? http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
Had Ad-aware and Spybot been updated just before use?

Or, try deleting any/all cookies from those sites, then delete the TIF
folder and the History folder.

Another possibility: Go to http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm Work through
steps 1-6 and,
if still infected, step 7- post a log to the forum at

Hope this helps,

Try using Ad-Aware ... the download is available at
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/, else you might want to try
Norton's Internet Security.

Good luck!

Yes I ran CWShredder, Ad-Aware, and spybot all after
checking for updates. I also have deleteted my cookies
and files from within the browser many times with no
change. I haven't tried deleteing the folders for TIF and
History. I have tried most if not all of the suggestions
in the "http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm". I will
try the steps listed
at "http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm " eventhough most
have already been tried form the other pages.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
