Hi all

thanks for the replies,
I have tried in safe mode and with and without system restore, and
retarting in safe mode. No luck.

Thanks for the browser helper widget Tony, it is very useful but has
not indicated that there is anything amiss with the browser helper
objects. And I have disabled everything except the spybot and adobe ones.

Thanks Dom for your comments, in fact I only ever use IE for testing,
however my teenaged son has been visiting, and a cursory investigation
of the tempory internet files he left behind it seems he has been gulity
of the ultimate nono, he has been viewing "adult material" using IE.

I did a routine check after he left ( this isn't the first time!), so I
picked up the problem fairly quickly.

I have now restricted his account - no priviledges at all! when he next
comes over he will have to ask me permision to run anything on my laptop.
Hopefully that should help, but as Dom says it is too late now!

Spybot is still reporting Win32.BHO.df any more ideas?

I will have a go at hijack this tomorrow.

THanks

Carrie
