greetings,<BR><BR>Iv had some major hijacker problems for the last week. This all started w/ my IE explorer homepage being constantly changed(about:blank, http://easy-search.biz/) and has evolved into not even being able to use the browser or make internet connections via 3rd part programs. I'v read the very informative pcstats article on hijackers and have followed all the instructions w/ downloading and using various spyware/anti virus. Still no joy. Only by now using Mozilla as my browser can get on this forum to post. The specific "symptoms Im getting are a nasty little icon named "sexdial" being continually loaded/re-loaded (about every 10 mins) onto my desktop, this opens a IE( i guess) browser to http://www.casinopalazzo.com/index.php?sourceid=100336. When I have attempted to find out more about this w/ google searches or downloading spywares/antivirus it will send me to a error page or http://www.mediacentralus.com/. <BR>If anyone has further info not involving all the fixes suggested in the PCSTATs hijacking article, I would sincerly appreciate your help. If I cant get this off my comp w/in the next 2 days Im going to go for a F disking and re-load.<BR>thanks for any help you can provide!<BR><BR>*programs I have downloaded and ran so far:<BR><BR>ad-aware<BR>registry mechanic<BR>spybot search and destroy<BR>CWShredder<BR>hijackthis<BR><BR>antivirus - norton, update feature has been blocked and will not connect to symantec site for update for last week.<BR><BR>3rd party non connection problems - starwars galaxies will not make a internet connection
