Hi, I have one quite strange problem with IE 6. Even if the homepage has been set, the start page appears different(always www.ent8.com). I have used Spybot, WinPatrol, Browser Hijack Blaster, Spyware Blaster, but the problem remains. Maybe some malicious programs are installed without my knowelleage. Notrton AntiVirus detects WINSYS.CER, but could not solve the problem for me. Any idea to make IE work correctly? Thanks a lot!

It sounds like you've been hijacked. Go to http://aumha.org/a/noads.htm an analysis of a number of possible parasites on your machine will be made to help you identify and remove them. You might need to disable Ad Blocking in Zone Alarm 3.x, if present or any other Ad Blocking software which interferes with Java Scripting for this scan to work. You should get a message between the two lines of **** giving the results of the scan. Then have your system examined with Hijack This, which you can download at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip See also, HijackThis Quick Start Help, http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ Post your copy as new post and someone will be able to advise you as to what to delete. Finally, after your system is clear go to http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm and make use of the advice to ensure that you do not get infected again. Good luck.
