    hi security gurus !

    I have a problem...a security problem

    Im using XP pro, IE 6 , AGV AV, SPybot and ad aware
    but still I seem to have been infected by a trojan horse. every morning I get a message from AVG sayiing im infected with this virus and to run AGV..but it never finds it ???

    I run ad aware and spy bot which finds some registry hacks and tracking cookies
    and it cleans them.

    but still I have this trojan horse

    about once every 2 weeks my web home page is reset to some crappy page called www coolsearch engin . com or something like that and then i reset it and it also puts some naughty links into my favourites folder.

    how can i get rid of this nusance ??

    Any help or advice mucho appriciated

    Alan

    and don't use IE6, it's a possibility that, that is how you got the trojan in the first place, download mozilla firebird from mozilla.org and use that instead. It also has tabbed browsing!

    I would have to agree with sjones. Internet Explorer is full of unpatched exploits and vulnerabilities. Your best option is to use some other browser.
