Page redirection

[Mark]

MY IE gets redirected sometimes to a page that says I
have spyware on my computer. I have ad-aware and spybot
and have run them both, but I'm still getting
redirected. Any ideas?

Start / Run / Type msconfig click ok

Goto Startup tab

uncheck anything that doesn't look normal, or uncheck all and reboot. You
won't hurt anything by unchecking everything. These are just programs or
files that load when windows boots up.

Good luck

Thanks
