Each time I open EI version 6 my home page is being changed to www.searchv.com No matter how many times I run spybot S & D it always comes back when I log-off and come back online. I've tried spyblaster and adaware as well without any luck. Also used hijackthis but without success. I may be missing something so the hijacjthis log file is below. Any help would be much appreciated Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.3 Scan saved at 11:45:11 AM, on 18/10/2003 Platform: Windows 2000 SP4 (WinNT 5.00.2195) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccSetMgr.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccEvtMgr.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Program Files\Network ICE\BlackICE\blackd.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccProxy.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Norton Internet Security\Norton AntiVirus\navapsvc.exe C:\Program Files\Network ICE\BlackICE\rapapp.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\regsvc.exe C:\Program Files\Norton Internet Security\Norton AntiVirus\SAVScan.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSTask.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\WBEM\WinMgmt.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\mspmspsv.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Logitech\MOUSEW~1\SYSTEM\EM_EXEC.exe C:\Program Files\ahead\InCD\InCD.exe C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe C:\Program Files\BroadJump\Client Foundation\CFD.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\HPJETDSC.exe C:\Program Files\Acesoft\Tracks Eraser Pro\te.exe C:\Program Files\Ad Arrest IE Popup Killer\adarrest.exe C:\Program Files\Network ICE\BlackICE\blackice.exe C:\Program Files\Mobile Connection\Laptop\Mobile Connection for Windows.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\internat.exe C:\Program Files\Mobile Connection\Laptop\NettGain1100 Client\NGSpawner.exe C:\Program Files\Mobile Connection\Laptop\NettGain1100 Client\NettGain1100_C.exe C:\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe R1 -

First Kill these and don't worry about your CNN. We will fix that later and for the love of God get rid of Black Ice. It sucks as a firewall.

I'm gonna look over it one more time. I just woke up so I might have missed something. KTTD

Also go and get CW SHREDDER and run it. KTTD

I don't see anything else. I'm sure others will take a look and advise if they do. Also make sure you are running Spybot with the latest updates and run it often. I see you have Tracks Eraser Pro which I would also run and have it clean up everything to rid your temp files, temp internet, cookies, history, index.dat file, etc. KTTD

Fix this entry and reboot: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sys] regedit /s C:\WINDOWS\sys.reg After rebooting, delete the following file: C:\WINDOWS\sys.reg

See I told you someone would post if I missed something and I should have seen that one, oh well. Thanks Tom, KTTD
