Hi my internet explorer had been hijacked by a chinese website.
www.zzk8.com
I can't change my homepage (greyed out). I've tried changing stuff in regedit. I've scanned with Spybot & Ad-aware & Hijack this.
I just can't get rid of it. Every time i start the pc, it changes my setting. Please help.

I haven't removed any registry values, just change the pages in hkey current users.
I restart my pc, and it changes all the values again.
I've tried to remove it from startup but it reappears every time.

Okie...i still need to know which are the running processes on your pc in order to come up with a solution for your problem.
so press ctrl, alt and delete (one time)and a lil window will come up. tell me the names of the programs that appear on that window.And then we'll see what we can do :)
Tell you something... Some of these hijacks are damned-sophisticated, & can be beyond your capabilities! I once got something known as, "Cool-Web" (& all kinds of variants). I tried, tried, tried... NO-LUCK. Then, I tried "Spy Subtract", w/ "Cool-Web Shredder", & when I ran it, it detected stuff I NEVER heard-of!!! If all-else fails, try "Spy-Subtract" (from Intermute). It just-might solve your grief!
