Unhappy IT BODs - need your helps

Right. I've turned my home pc on this morning (@ work now ) and click onto IE6 for my morning fix of Scoobynet and it took quite a while to load up.

When it did, I was referred to another site -

http://www.perfectnav.com/index.cfm?...A-007C0A93599E

I'm pretty sure that it's some ad/pop-up stuff.

The annoying thing is that I'm running Ad-aware6, and it can't find anything.

Any ideas how I get shot of this, as at present, I can't access Scoobynet from home (it's my default homepage btw)

details are as follows :-

XP Pro - latest update
Pipex Broadband
Zonealarm firewall (absolute shyte IMHO - will be going back to Norton ASAP)
IE6

HELP ME!!!

Tools, options, check your hompage isn't set to that. Run spybot instead of adaware it is much better.

Just something else to look at...
I seen hijacks of browser search pages where the hijack edited the hosts file and added bogus entries so queries always went to strange sites, not the ones requested.
c:\%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Make sure you do an update on Spybot to ensure you have all the new ones they have added
