I've found that IE recently open up with this website

http://www.ruby-eye.com/~bean/beanoo/index.html

But the funny thing is, my homepage has not changed. I mean its still what I had set it to be, but this just pops out automatically.
What should I do about it?
Thanks

Also maybe try Spybot S&D as it picks up stuff Adaware misses and vice versa

If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.

Hi, I have the same problem with my PC! Norton would detects a worm called w32.spybot.worm every time I connects to the Internet. And my IE would start with the stupid www.ruby-eye.com webpage! It seems more like spyware than worm to me, but i am no expert. Any idea how to do a manual removal to kill the worm? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks people!
