my roommate has a problem with internet explorer: some sort of spyware got installed, which changed his homepage to something like res://ogbdx.dll/id=blahblahblah. now this cannot be changed back to another page. also, several pop-ups appear while using ie.
i tried adaware and spybot and both did not fix the problem. anyone got any ideas that do not involve changing the browser/installing a pop-up blocker? thx!

delete everything that adaware tells you to. and restore the defaults in your internet settings in your control panel.

give "hijackthis" a try http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html
if there is stuff there that you havnt added yourself or dont know what it is, maybe think about removing it. But make sure you know what you are doing before removing items, maybe back up your registry too.
check out these forums for help too, you can even post your hijackthis log and someone will help you out. http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ http://www.spywareinfo.com/
im having a spyware problem too, i usually can fix all of mine with adaware, spybot-search and destroy, spy sweeper, hijackthis etc, but this one hasnt cleared up. I keep randomly getting porn popups, it seems to happen if i leave IE open for a while, whether using it or not at the computer. but it doesnt happen if IE is not open. Frustrating as.
Anyway, hope some of that info helped.

It's funny how I don't have any of these problems. I am feeling left out. Can anybody recommend me what programs to download or sites i should visit so that I too can enjoy random porn pop up, ejaculating onto my screen unbidden yet oh-so welcome.
