Something changed getting default ASP pages and redirect.

[CK]

I'm pretty sure this is not a hijack situation. Have run Spybot and have
virus scanner. The status bar says for everything it is being redirected
and has a default.asp with ?. Please give me some advice.

I think I will add a bit more info on this.

Although the status bar says something about "redirect" it still goes to the
site I intended but has the redirected default.asp info in status bar. I do
not get everything loaded on the page. Some pages won't load at all. I did
also notice on some of these pages it was set at Unicode UTF-8 in View
Encoding. This I have not seen before. I would uncheck it, check Auto but
it would revert back. I am not sure if this is related or not. I do not
have the UTF-8 section checked in Internet Options. Although it was checked
(somehow, because I did not check it) when I looked earlier trying to figure
out the problem.

I am using WinXP Home and IE 6. I have done some tweaks with X-Setup but not
sure if this has something to do with something I may have done there.

Ok hope this is better so I can get some help.

could be an update changed setting but try this to see if
maybe a hijacker, in ie,tools,options,advanced,uncheck
'enable third party browser extensions',apply. and see if
any change. and be sure you update spybot before using.
also there is ad-aware at lavasoftusa.com for anything
spybot don't catch.

Some pages contain a browser direction to use UTF-8.

Spybot S & D won't catch everything. See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated 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:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back

Thanks, but did all this. I have Ad-aware, spybot, TrendMicro, Hijack this,
etc. I am thinking it has something to do with the Unicode encoding but I
can not figure out where it is coming from. I didn't have the "enable third
party...." checked so not that. And have not had a virus for sometime per
scanners. So.... any other suggestions? This is really annoying.

Something I read at MS (I think) and something I saw in my files or registry
(cant remember where) said something about IE and bho, obh, ohb, something
like this. And I remember seeing these three letters after a path with IE.
So maybe this is it? But tried to find it in registry but did not locate.
Anyone got an idea of what I saw??
