IE 6 Homepage

[Jack]

Can anyone help me to correct a situation that has
recently begun whenever IE is opened. Instead loading my
chosen homepage, it has begun to go to an advertizing page
called Home Search whose web page address displays as
res://nlklv.dll/index.html#37049. I am also being
inundated with many popups for spyware and the like. My
PC has Norton Internet Security installed, however the ad
blocking feature and it's ad trash can have not had any
effect on this annoying problem.
I would be most grateful for any assistance in correcting
this problem.

Some website has hijacked your homepage.

1. Use the following scanners to find and remove the website.

SpyBot S&D searches your harddisk for so-called spy- or adbots;
http://security.kolla.de/
or
Adaware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
or
CoolWebShredder
http://www.spychecker.com/program/coolwebshredder.html

2. Some porn websites redirects links to their websites using your HOSTS
file. Do a search for the HOSTS (without extension) file and remove the
entry.

3. If still no joy, download HijackThis from Spywareinfo download page

http://www.spywareinfo.com/program/hijackthis.html

Run the program and you will find many entries. Most are OK. Post the log. I
will find the problem for you.

4. For future preventive maintenance, turn off ActiveX in Security tab.
