Argh! The worst SpyWare I have ever had!!

[kyle5077]

Please, i have tried everything! I have run Spyboy, AdAware, Hijack This, and a virus scan. They all found some usless crap (such as cookies etc) but nothing to bad. When ever i open IE my homepage is always: mk:@MSITStore:C:\WINDOWS\start.chm::/start.html
No matter what i do. I have delete both thoes start files, but they just come back, and change my homepage again the next time i open IE.

Im lost...
Any help?

I had something similar a while ago. The best way is to do a manual clean up.

Get RegCleaner ( a google search should find it for you). Run it and look for software you don't recognise & check the 'new' section for recently installed stuff. Remove the offending files.
Then repair your IE installation. In System Tools -> system information on the tools menu is 'Internet Explorer Repair Tool'. This will grab the original files from your windows CD and replace the infected ones.

This might be useful, but before trying the removal tool, read the whole thread .... then make your decision of which way to proceed.
Needless to say M$ have their head up their ar$e as usual and dont even acknowledge the exploit.

Or just switch to to Mozilla, no spyware there.
