My internet homepage resets itself when I reboot, to an unwanted website. When ever I log on I have to change homepage to back to google(thats the page I use). It is very annoying. Also, when my desktop items appearafter I log on, 3 unwanted itmes appear. I never put them on my desktop. I delete them, but when I log off and log on the items reappear. I have run spyware,ad-aware and avg. They found a Troj-Winshow.A virus that I deleted. I also ran HiJackthis and removed Some of the obvious items. Please help! I will be greatfull Gibbs
