Hi I had a lot of problems lately with porn pop-ups and stuff I downloaded spybot and it helped a lot and I also use a pop up stopper to stop all of the annoying pop-ups and that works great to. I hear a lot of clicking, which is the noise associated with a blocked pop-up i thought i was home free, but 2 things keep haunting me 1. i have 3 icons on my desktop (they are all the purple help book icon that you would see in the help section of a program) one says google one says surfing and one says porn. I delete them, but once i restart my computer, they come back. I can't get rid of them 2. when i start internet explorer the default page is some porn search webpage. I change the default webpage in internet options and it works until i restart my computer. The default page goes back to the porn site Can ANYONE help me with these problems I can't figure out what to do I can't find the icons in regedit and i have no idea why the default page goes back to the porn search page after i reboot any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks glen

Hi Glen,

Please download Hijack This! from HERE. Read the instructions on that site and then copy and paste the log file you can create into your next post. (Don't worry about it being all jumbled up, we can sort that out here).
