if you find the program that is doing this remove it from the hard disk then run hijack this again, to remove the registry entries.

Before trying to remove any spyware (or any other nasty for that matter) on windows XP. right click on 'My Computer' and selsect
'Properties'
select the 'System Restore' tab and ensure that 'Turn Off System Restore on all drives' is checked.

Just paste the link straight into the message. It will sort itself out.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Me again, I still have this problem ! work has been getting in the way (and still is...) to sort it out, been doing some long days here with no time
to faff. I seem to have just about every spyware program installed now and they keep updating themselves ! yet I still have this bloomin porn site as
my homepage. I need something 'industrial strength' to sort it out...

NEWSFLASH
I just ran that 'hijack this' thing again on the off chance and then checked the four dodgy things and pressed 'fix', and it
has worked ! not sure why it didnt before ?
Ive just looked and have the 'turn off system restore on all drives' unchecked is this how it should be in a normal set-up ? should
it be checked now everything seems to be back to normal ?
Thanks

You should have checked when trying to remove nasties.....
once they are gone you can uncheck it again.
