I'm not familar with that virus, but make sure you have you IE set correctly. Go to tools > internet options and under the general tab make sure you have a web page in the "home page" section. Might not be a virus after all....

I had that and it was a pain to get rid of. I ended up buying norton antivirus and it took care of the problem. It was worth the investment. Nothing worked before that.

https://testzone.secunia.com/online_antivirus/ this site has free scan and disinfectant... I use it once a week. It sounds like you have the same problem my wife had, turns out she had a trojan titled qhost.gen pandasoftware is excellent, without using this program we would have never have known, I called our isp and complained and nobody could resolve the problem. I ran the free scan and walaa there it was.... any questions mail me
