Every time I visit here I get a browser take over the next time I connect. It adds some pretty digusting stuff to our favorites list and I'm not sure what else it may be trying to do. Ad-Aware will remove it but, it comes back. Here's what Ad-Aware says about it.
Vendor:Possible Browser Hijack attempt Category:Malware Object Type:RegData Size:- Location:Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main "Start Page" ("res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049") Last Activity:3-27-2004 Risk LevelMedium Comment:Possible browser hijack attempt Description:Possible attempt to control\redirect the browser. This object referrs to a "blacklisted" site. Anybody else get this? Any suggestions? Dave |

i highly recommend you not touching the registry by hand ... start in safe mode, open the task manager (ctrl-alt-delete), take a screenshot, restart normally and post it here. we'll be able to tell you which tasks to kill. then start in safemode again, open the task manager (ctrl-alt-delete), kill all the threads we told you to, then run spybot ... that should do the trick ...
