extension hijacker

[ajmmac]

recently i offered some advice about fixing an extention hijacker found by spybot--smug little me--it involved downloading a fix for the registry for either xp or win98--well i guess i was over optimistic--while the fix works it does not seem to be permanent--the hijacking continues to return i and have to regularly run the short fix program to get the exe files to run--has anyone got a more permanent cure please

My IE browser was hijacked by ClientMan and SpyBot found and claimed to fix it but it always came back to life. AdAware (a free rival to SpyBot) was able to fix it permanently. Hope that helps.

thanks cjakeman--i already have adaware but hadn't run it since i figured spybot should do the job--i have since uninstalled spybot and ran adaware--so far it is looking good--think it has been cured now
