I need get this off of this PC!  
My work PC is a lowly P3 or 2 @ 400Mhz, so to run all the protective stuff is a nightmare…

I need to find a way to kill this spyware…  
Its a simple thing!  
Just tries to change my search page in IE…  
Over…  
Over…  
Over…  
Over…  
Doesnt stop!  
I think its just redirecting the same page across diferent DNS’s…

I’ve run scan with: (all recent and updated)

- Ad-aware
- SpyBot
- Ms AntiSpyware

Nothing even comes close to finding this thing…

I dunno what to do!  
Its not a virus! No dmg is being done!  
Its some sorta \*ware! Whatever u wanna call it!

I cant give u the page 'cause i cant remember it, since its always changing…  
Its always some big amount of random letters!

In case ur wondering I have eTrust AV…  
And a firewall…

The computer sometimes is used by a normal person… u know! No IT knowledge at all!

I’m a computer technincian, so getting technical on ur answers isn’t a problem! Or editing registry, or anything! Just start saying things to help!

SpyBOT indicates it as a search bar… Although I’ve never seen said search bar… Except some stupid bar that appears outside of IE and it seems to be a page that I havent looked at yet! I always just shut it off! Maybe it doesnt really go away… Task Manager doesnt indicate it as running…

I need to kill this before i just want to format the computer!

Basicly!  
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLP!!!
