Hello all,
I have had this problem for a day now and i cant fix it with anything. My homepage has been hijacked and there are lots of pop ups. I have identified some of the offending components (i think) but when i (or any adware/malware programs) try to delete them, they just come back a few seconds later. The option in internet options always reverts to "blank" but the page obviouisly is not blank it is some b*****ds rubbish search and links page. I am including the log file so if any one can give me any instructions or help i would very much appreciate that. Also i have gotten very confused during this whole thing over what some of the programs purport to do and how i can prevent this from happening in future, i am currently running microsoft antispyware, a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. I would like the simplest solution to keeping the computer clean, preferably one program to manage internet security. Anyway, thanks for reading, if anyone can help or wants more information from me, please email.
