Comment: My browsers (IE6 & Firefox) are hijacked daily by a Lenovo website at http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/ I've used Spybot, Adaware and also reinstalled the browsers. This problem keeps reoccurring. Does anyone have an idea of how to stop this?

Reply: (edit)are you using the immunize feature in Spybot? If not, you may want to. Also use Spyware Blaster and you may want to try this free online scan: http://www.spywareinfo.com/xscan.php and remove all it finds. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Reply: (edit)Thanks for the suggestion. I have been using SpyBot Immunize and the online scan link that you provided did find some adware called ProvenTactics 3.5, so I removed that. Unfortunately after rebooting the browsers are still reverting to the Lenovo website. I will give Spyware Blaster a try.
