Auto Hompage????

Dec 12, 2003 10:57PM PST

OK, I have tried everything I can possibly think of to fix this problem and now I am just going crazy. I have windows XP and when using internet explorer.. my homepage keeps getting reset back to http://t.rack.cc/hp.php ... be careful. It is some kind of credit card something or other. However, it WONT leave me alone. I have cleared cookies, deleted temp. files. Reset homepage address a hundred times. even put the site under restricted zones. STILL COMES BACK EVERY TIME!! I have run AdAware, McAfee, and Stinger. The worst part is that it keeps putting icons on my desktop.. one is called TONEX.. gets worse. Now my spell checker on email wont work because it says something about trying to open a PictureIt! program... to check spelling???? UGH, SOMEBODY HELP ME! I have called dell and they weren't much help. so I am begging for help here! thanks!

Try Spybot and CWShredder (from Bob's link). If that doesn't cure it, then it's time for HijackThis.
Download it, unzip it, run it and then post the logs at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/. Let us know what it is and what the fix is.
