I can't reset my homepage!! Automatically changes!!!

Sagitt SG

Whenever i reset my homepage to yahoo, after i shut down my PC and on it back after some time, open up my IE, it automatically goes back to a website 6781.com (chinese website). I'm using IE6 SP2. I've run Lavasoft Adware, Spybot Search & Destroy and CW Shredder... Even run housecall and AVG... Nothing works!!!! T.T

I seriously need help...

ooops… i think a much more serious spyware is on the loose. hmm..everytime you scan your comp…any new spywares or adwares emerge?

Sagitt SG

Not that i know of.. Even if i scan it a few times, it only shows up normal cookies… Not even any recurring spywares…

mhcampboy SG

Sagitt SG

Nope… Not that i notice of..

Use more than one anti-spywares to scan.

Webroot Spysweeper

Spyware Doctor

Windows Defender Beta 2

That's not a spyware...

That's a hijacker!

You been Browser-jacked!

Might as well just jump straight into re-formatting your entire hard drive.

IE6 sucks.Use mozilla forefox.

And i think a Hijackthis log would help too.

Hi, I empathise with you having been the victim of a hijacker before.

A quick fix method of solving your homepage and search page is to use a anti spyware program with realtime protection such as webroot spysweeper or spybot s&d and use those programs to lock your homepage and search page. This way, the anti spyware program can overwrite any changes the hijacker made to your computer...

Of course this is just a quick fix, its also important that you remove the hijacker from your system least there is a time bomb or any other malicious behaviour that might occur.

Try disabling system restore first before scanning. Or switch to using Firefox.
