Re: hijackthis. adaware false positive?Should I ignore

There may be more here than you are realizing folks.

I am having all the same symptoms here. One thing the first person didn't mention is whether he CAN change his home page.

I cannot.

I run adaware, and it fixes the problems and the 'malware' registry entries. If I run adaware again, it is fixed. the problems are gone. I reset my home page to be blank.

But within a few minutes, my home page is set to MSN again.
When I open a new browser, that is where I go, and the settings for my home page are again as described in the original message here.

There is indeed a spyware/malware/hijack problem here, that keeps re-inserting itself. at least for me.

I don't think so. SpyBot srarted detecting the same registry key some months ago. In my case, and a few other people, it was detecting an entry by ScriptSentry.

I reckon you have some other problem.

Can you post your ad-aware log of what it is finding and removing? Also, have you tried CWShredder? You can download it at »www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/file···dder.zip
