***************************
However, checking IE6 properties, it shows this as Homepage URL:
http://amazingautossearch.com/passthrough/index.html?http://about:blank

I change my home page to RefDesk.com, launch IE6, and it loads the right
Home Page.

I scan with HijackThis and get this log (HijackThis after load IE6).
(Please See attached file: hijackthis after load IE6.log, uploaded)

I KILL these (6) obvious ones:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar =
http://amazingautossearch.com/searchbar.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page =
http://amazingautossearch.com/searchbar.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
amazingautossearch.com

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar =
http://amazingautossearch.com/searchbar.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page =
http://amazingautossearch.com/searchbar.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
http://amazingautossearch.com/searchbar.html

and it still loads AmazingAutoSearch.com as Home Page !! Which
additional ones should be removed?

What, pray tell, can I do now?

Thanks,
Tommy

Re: Please check this HT Log (uploaded)

Thanks Gavin. I sent you a message to Submit@diamondcs.com.au with some of the files you requested, as well as some other info.

The AmazingAutoSearch hijack continues, but it's (the log list) getting a bit cleaner. I'm attaching the latest, after attempting your solution.

Thanks.
