About 2 months ago I obtained a virus that redirects my IE start page to a host of various start engines. Each morning I run Spybot and Ad-aware 6.0 and they find the registry changes made by the virus, change the registry back to what it should be, but by the next morning the registry has been changed back by the virus. I dont know how to find and delete the virus. Anybody else have this problem. Attached to this post is a word document with a screen print showing the registry changes that Spybot finds and fixes. Please help.
