Unable to remove a certain website for my Internet Explorer

[Guest]

Hello all,

I am currently unable to remove a certain home page from my Internet
Explorer. I went to tools and added my own home page, but when I refresh it
the old home page apears. I ran "Spy Sweeper" to remove any spy software and
I still have the same problem. Any suggestions?

P.S I also cleared all my temp folders, cookies and anything relating to the
Internet.

Hi

Try these programs as well to check for any spyware that may be on
your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://forum.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Hi Carlos,

Run a scan with Ad-aware AND SpyBot S&D with fully updated reference files. Followed by CWShredder:
http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.exe. If the homepage issue is not resolved, see section "IF THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM" at Jim's "The Parasite Fight" page: http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.php

AumHa Forums - HijackThis logs section:
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30

HijackThis download:

It's a good idea to clear the TIF and Temp folders, but does not help much in removing a complex hijacker entirely. After you clear the hijacker, visit these pages whenever time permits:
