I have McAfee and MSN security plus Windows XP firewall and never saw this
before signing in. Has nasty pics as examples. I have run Scan. Windows is
updated. I don't know how to get rid of this aggrevating ad trying to sell
me anti-spyware...What do I do?

I've got it too just as you describe. Tried everything I can think of!!!
Spysweeper was no help after updating and running three scans as they
directed. I can put up with the "flashing crawly bug" but the porno is gross
[dog sex etc.] and I'm no prude! Let me know if you figure this one out!

even after updating and running 3 scans as they directed. Pictures are gross
and I'm no prude. I cna tolerate the "crawly bug" Let me know if you figure
this one out, PLEASE!

It seems a malware has been resetting the home-page to the porn site.

1. Go to Help & Settings and then Settings.
2. Click on Set the Home Page.
3. Put the dot where it says "Use My MSN as the home page."
4. Click Save Changes.

After doing so make sure that your firewall and other security programs are
up and running 24/7.

the Thanks Kisstina!!! You were on the nose! Last thing I can remember
doing that would have let this in was clicking on a popup [a day or so
before first presentation of this %@#*%] that asked to make Google the
browser of choice [or words to that effect]. I did not look to the address
box above to make sure it was not a phishing expedition. Dumb!!!! Usually
very careful about things like this but getting old and forgetful I guess?
Sorry for the double posting of original but got message that it did not post
the first time. Again, many thanks and from my wife too. mike
