INTERNET IS MESSED

[matt wishart]

Every time I access the internet my home page no matter
how many times I change it, it always goes back to a
seachmirical site. If that isn't bad enought everytime I
change the page a new more pornographic web site replaces
it. If it isn't porno it can not be displayed, so no
matter what page I type in it gets rerouted to a
different one.

I have ad-aware pro which is the spyware removal program
recomended by techies from my work. I have antivirus and
a firewall. I am all out of ideas can anyone help me?

Thanks for your time

Hey there. Not an expert here(in fact this is my first
time using a newsgroup) and just looking for help
myself. However...........my 2 cents worth as a starter,
is that I have found if you use Spybot Search and
Destroy, as well as Webroot Spysweeper in conjuction with
Ad Aware, they all seem to pick up some of the
spyware/adware that the others do not find. I'm using
the free versions of all 3 programs. There are also other
programs such as Browser Hijack Blaster that have seemed
to help. Give one of the others a try if you're so
inclined. Don't know if this will help you out, but one
of these just might?!

Matt,
After running Ad-aware look in your Startup folder (Start > Run > type
MSCONFIG >OK, and uncheck any spyware. Then reboot.
