Scan detects and removes "possible hijack" even in safe
mode. However every 20 min or so adopt.hotbar......hijacks
my browser. I think it may be buried in the registry
somewhere, any ideas ? I did see one post that mentioned
running the deep scan in safe mode repeatedly until it
doesn't appear, does this work?

No.

1st step, download Firefox for a working browser.

Hi JJ,
If you are running SP2, try opening IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons and
disabling suspicious BHO's. I would also delete temp and Temporary Internet
Files.
Should that fail, go to Tools, and submit a 'Suspected Spyware Report'.

THX, I finally removed IE explorer and added Firefox, no
more problems, however I still think its there somewhere in
the registry, will look at the add ons
