My homepage has been taken over by tits.hardcore4ever.net and I can't change it back, and I have three Internet links which show up when I start up my computer - one a google bar, one some Anomymous Surfer and another one for Sex pictures -
Despite using SpyBot and AdWare they still go un-detected.
Also, to rememdy things I tried to lock the admin of my home page so it couldn't be changed except my the adminsitrator, but can't seem to find where I did this. Any suggestions.

I have a similar problem, though the specific sites are different. I have tried Adaware, Spybot, and a dozen other programs and they haven't helped. I would really appreciate help. My HiJack This log says:

O4 - Global Startup: winlogon.exe

Thank you for the help. One small problem, though. I fixed the first few, but HijackThis will not allow me to delete O4 - Global Startup: winlogon.exe because it is "in use," and windows won't let me shut it down because it is a "critical system process." The deleting of the first few works, but only until I restart again. Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind... I just started in safe mode and deleted it... duh. Everything is fine now. Thanks for the help!

hiya. ive got the exact same problem. my homepage has been taken over by some web site www.search-space.com do not go anywhere near this website! its bad news! anyway i downloaded, unzipped n ran the hijack this program and plz find below the results of the scan. im wondering if any of you kind experts could advise me on what to delete from the list as i am not sure. any help wil lb greatly appreciated as this problem is proving really annoying!
