SpywareNo annoyance

joeybback · Feb 13, 2006

I know a few people have had a problem with this and I'm no bleeding different. I can't seem to get rid of it. When i run Ad-Aware SE it detects and removes it but is present as soon as i scan again.

I'm pretty sure it's not a false positive as well 'cause my wallpaper is sporadically resised and something is trying to change my homepage (Secretmaker is currently blocking this).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
