I have installed spy killer in my computer. (win xp pro.) every 15 minutes I
receive warning from spykiller ''your homepage is changing to
''**,18plus. ''' (I dont know the exact adress now) .
the new page is in 1 second open, without my permission.
I tried the spydoctor to check my computer, and I receive following:
found linkreplacer/very dangerous
linkReplacer is an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object that adds content
to the start of every web page viewed. This content is (currently) a script
that reads all your cookies and sends them to LinkReplacer's controlling
server wcft.net.

SpyKiller is included in several "black lists." I uninstalled it several
weeks ago...

First I would unstall Spykiller... Spydoctor could be OK but it's not
enough.

Then, if your browser is still hijacked I would start with:

CWShredder (cleans all Cool Web Search malware)

SpywareGuard (to keep your home page.)

After that I wil use (as always):

SpywareBlaster (prevents installation of spyware, Trojans, etc.)

I'm not sure whether this will solve your problem but the combination of all
these programs will provent your machine from many others...
