    Has anyone seen this problem at all? I'm browsing the internet (using Advant browser) and Internet Explorer pops up out of nowhere and displays a website called Casinopalazzo.com

    Ok, thats annoying, so I close the window and go back to browsing in Advant, then I notice that there is a shortcut on the desktop that I did not create called 'default'

    If I goto the properties of the shortcut it shows it points to :

    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.casinopalazzo.com/index.php?sourceid=101969


    This is happening for a while now, I have Spybot search and destroy installed and updated, I also have Adware6 installed and updated, plus I have 'HiJackThis.exe'. Antivirus is upto date and I have a software firewall installed. Also I have the default Block pop up program installed on Advant + a 3rd party similar utility for IE. I just can’t get rid of this little git, it keeps coming back for more :(

    It has 5 entiries

    1 in registry
    1 in msconfig
    1 in iexplore cookie/cache (the hidden my documnets one)
    1 in its original exe which is being ran every time
    1 in system32 folder.

    To get rid you need lavaosfts adaware with latest file.
    A good anti virus AVG is free from grisoft.
    Modify the boot to stop it loading.
    Delete the files from mydocumens/yourname/localsettins/internet

    CoolWeb shredder

    This can get rid of some specific items that adaware and spybot seemingly can't.
