IE hijacked by another website

Guest

Everytime a window happens to open in IE6 i'm directed to some disgusting
site. I noticed that there were 8 websites i never started located in the
'favorites' folder and managed to get rid of them using SpyDocter 3.0. There
is still one stubborn trojan that SpyDocter can't remove which is supposedly
located in MSN auto search. I have tried removal in safemode but it's no
good. I am so fed up of this. I am a student and need my pc for research and
things, it's getting to the point where i won't bother to use my pc at all.
Can somebody help me?

Hi,
I'm sorry that you spent money for Spydoctor. Many of the best removal
programs are free. Try this cleanup routine.

Download and run CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot (in that order.)
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the security tips and other important information on that page.

If unsuccessful with those programs, you may have to post a HijackThis log
to one of the forums listed below. You will receive good help at any of
these forums. You might look for a forum that doesn't have too many
unanswered posts. You should also look for the proper forum for HijackThis
logs and a message along the lines of "Important- Read This First."
