Hi guys,
Whenever i login to internet explorer a porn site comes up as a homepage....I have tried to change it by going on tools internet options and change home page but when i restart the PC the poblem persists.

I think we would need to do something in the windows registry but am not really sure abt it.....

Can someone plz help me....

Thanks

enough solutions...
i would like to add something towards precautions which can help u in future....which doesnt let u go down in future..

ms internet explorer has some loopholes which can be fixed with windows service pack 2 (avl wid digit cds a few months back) ....u can also use firefox browser which is much better in many aspects...gud lucks wid ur fight against pornos ;)

I think having porn is not a problem .. but getting it digged into ur web-browser is a bit tedious .... at times it might be tht U have to use ur system with ur frd's or the worst possible case ur family members ...

Well, there hasn't been ne more replies back from the author .. where r U lost ??

& yeah! dunt forget to post ur hijackthis log file here!

:idea: I can show you at least 5 reasons why SpubotSD is better than Ad-Aware, "Cydoor" is just one of them. I use Ad-Aware (Pro) +SSD and only SSD detects 3/4 such pests which are not detected by AA.

But this here is a simple case of BHO exploit. So I would suggest Hijack This! scanning and hands-on fixing based on what the log shows.

:wink: And MS AntiSpyware also sucks big time - it even says "My Web Search" toolbar is a safe component to install :!: And it will not remain freeware for ever :!:

Once it happened in my pc. It was due to a chm file, which is a help file format. It was located in c: (parent directory) if it is there remove it and it should work. In internet options in homepage field wat url is provided if u can post it here, it wud be more better to help.

Be careful next time while you click on pages which show this kind of stuff, they are really bogus and to add to your woes have lots of spyware and trojans in it.

Download MS anti-spyware & do a clean.
Then try spy sweeper as well. They did quite a good job for me....
Hope they will work for you too....
