Re: hijackthis. adaware false positive?Should I ignore

I'm going to suggest a more innocent possibility. We all know that occasionally (based on some algorithm), the IE browser automatically goes to the Windows Update site. Since starting to use the new Spybot 1.3, which offers protection against unauthorized changes to the registry, I noticed an attempt to write a similar URL to my registry. I gave Spybot permission to allow the change, and the next time I started IE, I was taken to the Windows Update site.

The URL I saw seemed very similar to the one shown in the "warning message" posted by d00by.

Hey, if anyone was trying to hijack a machine, why the heck would they send you to MSN?

hey guys, I kinda got the same problem here. Adawere keeps telling me that there is an infected file on my pc. Then it removes it. But when i go to my Internet browser it jumps on google.com ( my main start page ) for just once. The next time it goes to that funky blank page. Now how can i stop this?
