I am having a very similar problem as that last post. I have followed all the instructions with Ad-aware and CWS etc.... made sure all the settings were correct etc... I keep removing everything but the problems keep coming back! - Looks like I'll need to manually remove some things??? Just don't know what to remove. Would really appreciate some help.

After a while this line will show up but right now it has been removed:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://devils****.com

(the site http://devils****.com is still coming up periodically though.)

thanks - steveb
