    Hi

    Disconnect from the internet Close ALL browser windows (including this one) - run hijackthis and tick to fix (check the box next to) the list below.........when all are ticked (checked) click the Fix Checked button at the bottom. :-


    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {8aed5df3-6e0b-4930-b1a5-f8aa8d757497} - (no file)

    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present



    Lets split this up...

    I am now able to uncheck the protection bar but is it still there?
    Also my wallpaper changed and MSN.com is now my homepage. Even if I change it, it keeps coming back.

    1. I am now able to uncheck the protection bar but is it still there?

    What is it you can still see ?

    2. Also my wallpaper changed

    Can you just change it back ? if not, please explain...

    3. MSN.com is now my homepage. Even if I change it, it keeps coming back.

    I see you have Spy Sweeper installed... when you change your homepage, do you get a pop-up from Spy Sweeper ?

    It was in the list when I right clicked in the tool bar. It is now gone.

    Changed it, not an issue

    3. MSN.com is now my homepage. Even if I change it, it keeps coming back

    I change my home page. When I click the home button, norton pops up and tells me the the home page is changing. I scroll down to allow the change but it alway reverts back to MSN. Spy Sweeper does not pop up.

    HI

    Glad the first 2 are resolved

    I change my home page. When I click the home button, norton pops up and tells me the the home page is changing. I scroll down to allow the change but it alway reverts back to MSN
    It looks like you have a problem with Norton not allowing you to change your homepage...

    There must be a setting somewhere in Norton which is locking your homepage... I have no idea where it is ... sorry

    Spysweeper would also alert you to any change, if it was set to do so.

    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 let one of us know via a PM (personal message).
