    I know this has been posted before but I can't find it. Does anybody have any links where I can download a spyware removal program?

    Ever heard of google?

    Try the following:

    Ad-Aware
    Spybot
    Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta

    Those 3 catch 98% of whats out there.

    Wow, when I typed in P0rn the correct way on the last post it automatically linked it to another site. That's crazy.

    Did you actually run a scan with those tools after you downloaded them? Run a full system scan with AdAware, right click and select everything that it finds, then delete them all. After that run spybot, let it delete what it finds, then see if you still have the problem.

    Quit surfing free p*rn sites!!

    :p

    For this you need to get HijackThis and possibly CWShredder. Do a search for how to use these applications.

    Nothing seems to be able to work. Hijack This is able to find it and removes the entry, but it keeps coming back. I'll keep screwing around with it. Thanks for the help.

    Are you keep going back to source of the problem? If you keep visiting the same site that doesn't help.

    Dell? CTRL F11

    This cleansweeps the system...Make sure you back up EVERYTHING of value that you have installed or saved.

    It resets to a snapshot of day one startup.
