internet home page wont change

[marknozzy]

Help!!!! My internet home page wont change from this porn site err my friend must have visited. I have tried changing it in internet options, i have looked in add/remove programmes for any thing untoward, i have reset my web settings in internet properties, i have even updated to IE6 hoping that this would over ride it. Iam now in need of some help as there must be a start up command somewhere. The home page will stay at what-ever i want it to until it shut down the p.c, then next time i turn it on...bang there it is, a web site i don't wish to look at. Please help A.S.A.P Thanks Mark.

Have you tried an online virus scanner?
Sounds like the seeker trojan

Hi marknozzy

After you have done the virus scan do this :-

If you post your startup list we may be able to spot something

Please post your startup list by doing the following :-

Please go here and download startuplist 1.5 :-

http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/startuplist15.zip

Download to any folder or your desktop
Unzip the zipfile
Double click the exe file
go to Edit - select all - copy - and paste the results in a new post here

I suspect you will have to run "spybot"


steam

And if those ideas don't work - try running regedit and searching for the offending website deleting anwhere its entered. =)
