Ok this is my second post about this subject. No I can't change my startpage in my IE 6.0. I really don't know how I should be able to, now after trying almost everything. The startpage always changes back to msn.com, no matter what I try to change it to. These are the things I've tried: (I updated all the programs before I tried) Hijack This, CWShredder, SpyBot S&D, AdAware, and I changed the startpage in regedit. Now I really don't know what to do. Could anybody please help, even though it's more annoying not being able to costumize than serious...??

Cheers all Dr. Krollspell

Go ahead and post your hijackthis log file. You might be missing something. I am also going to remove your first post and if you do post a log file do it here and not in a new post.

Thanks,

It is probally something in your startup file in msconfig.It may be listed as sp or sps.You may also want to download a free program called startpage guard which prevents your page from being hijacked It is available at http://www.sn

I had the same problem on my computer, and the following solved it:
Try running the Ad-aware program available on http://www.lavasoftusa.com
This removes most of the spywares present on the machine.
Hope this helps
