Dont know if any will help, but good luck

can't beat spybot, search and destroy! tis what i use along with AVG, Zonce Alarm and Ad-Aware.

Hope you get it sorted out matey!

It'd be useful to see the contents of your "Run" list in the Registry if possible...

Click Start then Run. Type "regedit" and Enter then in the Registry window you will see a form of folder list down the left of the screen.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Run

In the right-hand window you now see a list of items. Post these up and we can identify the one(s) that are causing the problem.

Also, as this sounds a bit like a form of browser hijack, can you not use Windows Defender to restore the IE search page/home page etc?

Cheers
