min min error

[Guest]

I am running Windows XP and a couple days ago started getting an error at shutdown. The error says "Win Min". I have also noted that each time my computer shuts down now, my homepage on IE6 has been changed to one of the "nonpopular" search engines. I am also getting adult-oriented popups and with numerous others and websites are being automatically added to my Favorites

I cureently use Norton Anti-virus and have scanned the system twice, as well as cookie cleanups and so on. I also use Spybot and have scanned the system repeatedly deleting off and immunizing everything I find. I have tried everything I can think of including disk defrags and system checks

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what has worked to get rid of it. Any other advice also welcome.

Hello,
I'd suggest using Adaware and possible software from pestpatrol to
determine and repair the problem with IE.

It appears your browsr has been hijacked by some other software you may
have installed recently.
