This site is driving me crazy!
http://ad1.zendmedia.com/ad-spy_hdc.php?id=start1

Everytime I open Internet Explorer Version
6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920 this site is set as my
homepage. I will reset my homepage. Do a search for Zen
and delete all results. That doesn't help.

If I get a DNS error "Web page not found" it use to stay
on that page. But now, a few secs later it will redirect
to http://ad1.zendmedia.com/ad-spy_hdc.php?id=start1.

I have the google bar set up for no popups. I also have
something on my control panel set up for no popups, but
that didn't help. My brother did this, but I can't
remember what he did.

Can someone PLEASE help me. I am not an expert, but I do
know how to get around with most things.

Thanks in advance.
Robert
 
I forgot to mention that this site will give you a popup
saying it has detected a virus. It will also open your
cd rom drive trying to trick you to believe it. It will
also blank your screen! :(

It tries to get you to buy their software.
