I have a problem with my homepage when I start up windows internet explorer, it does not come up to the one I selected in internet options and this one res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776 always appears instead. Ive tried ad-aware and spybot s&d and neither seem to rectify the problem but I know it has to be a form of spyware, does anyone have an idea on how to get rid of it?
