I would recomment Hitmanpro. It combines 8 existing anti-spy/ad/malware programs. ( Ad-Aware SE (6.2), Spy Sweeper 3, Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3, CWShredder 2.15, SpywareBlaster 3.3, Spyware Block List, Sysclean Package and SuperDAT VirusScan) On installing, it installs all those programs and updates them. If you run it, all programs will scan your disk. *Qj really likes it ![]() Only problem: I have no idea where to find an english downloadsite ![]() Just google for it. |

Well, Ad-Aware and Spybot have some problems with each other (read Spybots news site for the history) so i'd suggest running just one of them, and get a good antivirus.. free one like AVG will do. Run HijackThis and post your logs on castlecops.com's forum or another helping community and they'll fix it. |

Well rory not really. He needs to run hijackthis or it probably wont go away but come back. Ad-aware and spybot are not meant to fix everything. I know what im doing. I dont see why if its on topic I cant ask a person to come over and post a hijackthis log. James said go to castlecops so....
I run a site dedicated to removing spyware and helping people on there computers its what im good at. I was not advertising really but offering my help! Its 100% on topic. I was just trying to help out. |

When you say you can't change it, is it greyed out? |

Start, Run, Regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System You don't by any chance have: NoDispBackgroundPage or anything like that in there do you set to "1"? |
