Browser Hijack

[Emdee]

Hi,

I'm having problems with a browser hijack. Basically my homepage keeps getting set to about blank and random popups keep appearing.

Thanks in advance for any help you might have!

Here's a HijackThis log:

basically m$ decided they wanted active x to be visable faster then java so they added no security features at all while java runs in a sandbox. so you can get pwned by any dodgy website you visit.

install and run the microsoft spyware removal tool then install firefox and and your pretty much safe.

fix your IE pages.

you can do this with Microsoft AntiSpyware.

You also have multiple pop-up blockers installed :huh:

noads.exe
Googletoolbar

Don't really use noAds anymore since I installed the Google toolbar.

Think it's pretty much sorted now anyway. Thanks for the replies! :D
