The Hun's yellow pages - trojan

-----Original Message-----
I am having a major problem with this pop up - it tries
to connect to the
above site, every time I open IE6. It then uses 100%
system resources until
I close it down, which I have to do via Task manager.
I have XP Pro, bang up to date, Zone alarm pro ditto -
AVG grisoft Ditto.
Spybot - adsaware none of which can do anything about
it. I tried system
restore back to its earliest incarnation - no use.
I even emailed the owner of the site (a page with links
to adult sites)
He told me (in a prewritten email) that he was having
numerous similar
requests, but that it was nothing to do with him. he had
a few suggestions
none of which worked.
As far as I know, this trojan? is having no effect on
anything else on my
system.
This is an extract from The Huns email........

"I get more reports like this one and I honestly don't
know what's causing
'em. I don't want to force my website on to people. I
don't see the reason
why I should do that. People should be able to see my
site, but they
shouldn't be forced to. I don't put tools on the web to
force my site on
people. I don't mislead search engines to get more
traffic. I run an honest
show and still get over 1.8 million visitors every day.
I see absolutely no
advantage in trapping people like yourself, that
obviously aren't interested
in what my site has to offer."

I would really appreciate any useful suggestions.

Harry.

.Try "hijackthis from www.spywareinfo.com

Thanks Mike & Ceedee
It seems you both have the same suggestion
.Try "hijackthis from www.spywareinfo.com
problem is I can only access IE for about 60 seconds before it locks up
completely (Task manager is showing 2 copies of IE open although only one is
showing!! the second one is using 100% resources!! so I have to disconnect).
I will go to the library and access the site from there.
Again thanks for your help.
Harry
