Re: IE6 hijacked - continual redirects

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi there,

I've been having this issue too - I'm finding that not only is IE
unable to connect to any other website, but I'm finding that anything
depending on the wininet api is unable to connect - iTunes, Google
Notifier, Windows Messenger - the works. Any web page I surf to in IE,
I get re-directed to eebuy. Firefox, however, is a happy bunny, as is
S&D's updates, McAfee's updates and a few other programs besides.

As an experienced IT support man myself, I've been through the usual
basic steps, including Virus Scan, Spybot S&D, checking the usual
hiding places for start ups, ADS streams, and rootkits, none of which
has turned up any positives (other than the usual tracking cookies) -
I've tried creating a new profile on the machine in question, and the
same symptoms are still occurring.

Having checked the Hijackthis log, I can't spot anything that seems
untowards, so I'm feeling fairly frustrated - thankfully, I've got a
backup laptop, so it's not exactly the end of the world just yet, but
it is my primary machine - I'm working on finding out as much as I can,
but if anyone can add any information in the meantime, that'd be much
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

K
