IE6 home page trojan

I seem to have "acquired" a trojan or summat that is changing my IE6 start page to "about:blank" in the registry. I can change it to something else in the tool, or directly in the registry, but it is constantly being reset. Anybody got any suggestions for something that would detect and remove same. I have Norton etc but it's finding nothing. Help!!

Thank

Doug Smith

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.

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.

Hope this helps.
