Hello everybody,
I have had this problem for ages now, I even formatted my hard drives to get rid of it. I am pretty desperate, I have used adaware, spyware blaster, pestpatrol, bps spyware remover, noadaware and belive me some more that I do not even remember. IE page has been hijacked and startpage is always http://www.msn.co.uk/. I really do not know what one can do. Please help me.

Welcome to GTG.

What do you mean it's hijacked? Isn't that a legitimate MSN site? It's not showing up here. But before we proceed any further:

Please read the first link in my signature and follow the steps outlined there. You must install XP SP1a (hold off on SP2 until your computer is clean). Without SP1a, you are wide open to re-infection. When you are ready, post a new HijackThis log here.
