home page hijacked by mypoiskovik.com

Hi,

since a couple of days my home page setting has been hijacked. I can reset the home page, but with a reboot my setting disappears and I am looking at:

http://mypoiskovik.com/index.htm

The search page is also set to this address.

I ran adaware and Spybot and cleaned what they found.

advice is appreciated.

Thanks
KOA

Hi koa,

Also delete:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\winlogon.exe <= NOTE: do NOT try to delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe

And could you find C:\WINDOWS\System32\Launcher.exe, rightclick the file, choose properties and let us know what iot says on the version tab.

Regards,

Pieter
