Trojan Alert

If that thing is re-inserting itself you have a root kit working on your system.

It loads into the Master Boot record and inserts code that runs when windows starts.
You need a root kit remover to find it.

try http://www.gmer.net/index.php

It should locate it..

You may need to reinstall the MBR by starting up windows CD and using the tools dialog ask it to "fixmbr"

It should re-write the list...

Noobs stop using IE or Windows...!

For the admin of this site...

Hackers can use third party websites to inject the bad stuff.
They use an iframe with zero dimensions...ie its not visable on the page, but its there, an iframe is like running a website inside a website within the html on your browser. They manipulate IE easily and use simple tricks like cancel buttons that are not....

I have had several run code in VM and they all worked on IE and very well. Inserted a code as a cookie or as an image / download set to auto run. IE does this!
Once on the machine they buzz a website, bought and paid for by CC theft, they then download more stuff and your PC becomes a Zombie..

So

One or more of the adds have or could have an Iframe in the code or someone hosting this web server has shit security..(ie MD hosting)
If that is the case they can read your emails, the data base everything...and include code in the index.php to insert an Iframe...should be all encrypted in a long hash..

One more thing..

Get mint Linux or Ubuntu Linux and run the cd from boot up..it will start Linux without installing it, you can use the disk manager to erase the MBR and backup the user folder (including program settings) from windows should you choose to re-install it. If not install mint or Ubuntu and have a great trouble free PC....

I don't think you can get rid of it, as its integrated with windows.  Just use don't use ie and no problems.

Hello Hans,

There is a way to remove Internet Explorer from Windows, but it's not worth the hassle. Whether or not you realize it, you actually do need IE; it's used throughout Windows. For example, Outlook, Word, Windows Explorer--basically any apps that need to render HTML--all rely on IE to some degree. If you remove IE, which requires editing your system registry files (something I don't recommend unless you have experience and a good backup first), you'll then have to associate these apps with another Web rendering product in order to view, for example, HTML-enabled e-mail. Not impossible, but I'm sure you have better use for your time. Instead, simply drag and drop your IE icon to the trash and just forget about it.

Load linux.  I'm using Ubuntu and booting from a cd.

Hope that helps.
