when I open internet explorer it opens (in the uppermost blue aert of IE) with

http://www.google.com.au (my home page)very briefly then changes to
http://www.httpwww.mspyc.hop.clickbank.net/rehop
then
http://www.myspywarecleaner.com/sc/?hop=httpwww
which also loads into the address bar and redirects my home page to an ad for myspywarecleaner ( google was changed to http://www.google.com.au./.com in the home page address bar - I deleted the 2nd /.com and this seems to have got me back to google as my home page though I'm not convinced that alone is enough to have got rid of the problem!
have run spybot but it doesn't seem to have got rid of it - tried to update spybot unsuccessfully a couple of times but get !!!badchecksum! is it likely that this hijacker could be blocking spybot? - Not sure where it came from - 3 teenagers also use this pc and despite antivirus (AVAST) windows firewall adaware still got this one - most likely with a download of some sort. Any Idea's on how to get rid of it and could it be specifically targetting spybot to prevent me from updating?
Spybot reports nothing found I've just installed spybot 1.4 from a demo cd which updated ok but reports nothing found

I'm running recently installed (week or 2 ago)Windows XP service pack 2 automatic updates activated (formatted and reinstalled OS after replacing MB and CPU needed to re -authenticate windows)- this only appeared a few days ago

running bitdefender now as I'm typing this which has so far identified (and deleted)
Tojan clicker
exploit win 32 MS
application browser hijacker Nav excel search toolbar
then seemed to hang displaying "update failed"
so will probably have to start it again ,then will try the other on - line scans suggested. I have an extremely slow dial up connection 28kbs - yes we are truly backwards out here in parts of Australia -and believe it or not we're only about 50 miles from the centre of Melbourne and this is the best we can get!
Thought I'd be a bit cheeky and post this in the meanwhile -hope nobody minds - I may have died of old age before I manage to go through the rest of the scans! following is the hijack this logfile
Cheers

Other than that is liiks good

Have the symtoms you mentioned returned ? any pother odd goings on ?

Hi LonnyRJones
Thanks for your help symptoms - don't seem to have returned and nothing else odd appears to be going on (so far any way!) I've had hijack this fix the items you suggested and will continue running a few other online virus scans -I missed the extra ./com that had added itself to http://wwwgoogle.com.au initially I think, so browser "hijacking" was not as persistant as I first thought
Was concerned that some "nasty" was actually targetting spybot to prevent it from updating but if it was it doesn't seem to have worked with 1.4
Thanks again

Good

The badchecksum problem is seen here quit a bit. when that happens simply choose another server http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/20.html


Regards

Im Glad we could help
Since the problems are solved Im going to close the topic now, this keeps others with similar problems from posting there logs/question here, they should start a new topic.
If you should need to post another log for the same PC send a message to someone on the Net-Integration staff with a link to this thread.
