Unauthorised additions to IE Favourites
 
Was chatting with a mate on msn the other night who has all these pornsite URL's in his favorites folder. Deleting them doesn't seem to work as they re-generate themselves. He deletes cookies daily. I got him to download and run AdAware. He hadn't kept his Norton AV program updated but I told him how to use the Live Update function there.

Any suggestions on where to run from here?

Many thanks,

Please see sticky at the top of the page and run the fixes.

Lurk R,

I came across a similar thing, where the "payload" was a batch file sitting in the Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. So obvious it took a little while to find it. :O
