Spy Wiper browser hijacker

J

JR

I got hit with the Spy Wiper browser hijacker. I've reset everything and
run SpyBot to check my system, and everything is fine except when I right
click on a link in IE6 to open in a new window, the new window is tiny. I
can resize it but every time I open a window in this manner the problem
occurs again. Please help if you know a fix for this trick.

P.S., the folks at Mail Wiper, Inc. (http://default-homepage-network.com)
are responsible for this curse. They use the hijacker to make you think you
have spyware on your system, and then direct you to the purchase page for
their product, supposedly a spyware removal program.

JR,
Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use maximize.
Close other IE windows. Close that window last.

Regards,
Don
