Default IE 6.0 with SP2. spyware.

Dear all,

I am having a problem with my IE 6.0 on WinXP Home. I will be grateful if
any one can help me out in this.

Whenever I start my IE after some time all of a sudden a large number
(approx. 40-50) of browser windows start appearing 1 over the other on my
computer. This has happened quite a number of times.

A few days back I had installed ad-ware and I noticed that I have spyware
with the name of MSBB.exe. I deleted this manually and also uninstalled the
ad-ware program. My system ran smoothly without any problem for a few days.
Now I do not have the MSBB.exe file in my computer but still my computer is
giving the same problem.

I also have Google toolbar to block unnecessary advertisement.

I will be looking forward for your help.

SAJID

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.


Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.
Ad-aware

Spybot S&D

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program. It
is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and give you
the ability to disable them.

Hope this helps.
