    hey everyone, 1st time poster here, well, recently i discovered that there was a lot of adware/spyware in my computer, so I downloaded Spybot S&D, the latest version of Norton Antivirus, Internet Security and Firewall, Spyware Blaster, CWShredder, Stinger, CCleaner, Kill2Me, Ad-Aware SE Personal and HijackThis.
    I got all the updates for all of them, ran them all, they erased a LOT of bad stuff, but my damn IE start page continues to be http://213.159.117.134/index.php. (Cool Web Search.) Even after running CWShredder twice, Stinger in Safe Mode, getting full system scans from all of them, following all the instruction in your newbie threads, going to www.hijackthis.de to use the program without destroying my computer, it continues to haunt me. what do I do??

    Removing it with Hijack This should help, but odds are there is an executable you missed that is reloading it. We have been a bit swamped, but if you post a log file I can try and look at it.
