Hijacked IE6 Browser

[Lee Vyborny]

My IE6 Browser appears to have been hijacked and I want
to know how to get rid of the problem.

Each time I log on to the internet the screen I designate
as my home page is preceded by the following:

http://p13715.sbnl.com/passthrough/index.html?

When I change the Home Page designation in the General
section of Internet Properties and delete existing files
and cookies, this prefix still reappears after each
restart.

What else can I do to remove this annoying problem?

Lee;
You may have a virus but you most likely have spyware:
Run an updated virus scan.
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:

Or
