    I have read and tried all the basic spyware removal info and the stuff on Hijack this. Now Adaware and S&D do not detect this heretofind spyware but hijack this does. When I try to remove it in HJT, it just keeps coming back. Basically my IE homepage right now is some porn site and whenever I type in a url it redirects me to a heretofind search engine. Anyone have any idea how to get rid of this spyware?

    Hi Shadowfighta,

    If you have followed the tutorial completely and thoroughly (Safe Mode, Online Scans, System Restore OFF, etc. . .) then go ahead and send us your HJT Log.

    Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.98.2) and extracted to its own safe folder - C:\Program Files\HijackThis

    If you need a Fresh Download of HJT, get it HERE: HijackThis 1.98.2

    Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

    Please save your HJT Log as a .txt file and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

    I'll check back when I get a chance - Usually in the wee hours.

    Best,
    PP
