This must be some kind of IE homepage hijacker.
I can't find any kind of Dir, DLL or temp file references on my hard drive. I've already done the following in Safe Mode:
Housecall scan, Trojanscan.com, then
Ad-Aware 6.181 (12-03-2004) & CWShredder 1.53.01.

Just to be thorough I deleted the Messenger, Netmeeting & Outlook Express directories and files, even though WinXp recreates them upon reboot. Finally I ran V-Com's Registry Fixer
a second time and reboot again.

Real-Yellow-Page.com's html makes reference to http://superbookmark.com and a link to a CWShredder download site:
http://216.180.233.153/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

- Anyone have a solution to root this sucker
out?
- Is there a specific MS-IE6 Update patch I
should go get to prevent this from
happening again?

Thanks.

This is a new TOUGH ONE. You can try running the 'CW-Shredder' and also take a look at the manual removal. MrC

Hi

Try this link for removal instructions:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/

That should take you to Merijn's site; first part of the page under news and updates.
Follow his instructions.
He made the cwshredder tool and is still working on it to include the hijacker you have but for now...gotta do the way he describes.

Once you get rid of it...do your windows updates so the buggers can't hijack you again.

Good luck
