IE6 Hijacked

C

Chris

Something has happened to my computer. some porn thing
has hijacked my computer. Whenever I open IE6 a website
C://WINDOWS/secure.html comes up instead of my home page.
and when i close IE6 a big porn website that cover the
entire screen pops up.

I ran Spybot and Ad-aware and nothing has seemed to get
rid of it. I even went into my folders and deleted the
secure.html and it always reappears.

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
