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. -- Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |

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 -- Write your questions down on the back of a $20 dollar bill and send them to me |
