    Unhappy Serious re-direct problem

    Everytime I open my browser I automaticly am taken to "newtopsites.com". Windrivers.com has been my home page fro over 2 years. Also when I open the winProxy on the server it shows that I am going first to or through a site called "inmotiongolf.com. any move I make on the internet including mail routes me through this. I know it is spyware and I know it is a java based redirect program and ad-aware cant find it. Also it throws a ton of pop-ups at you of which I have a pop-up stopper that works fine. This is suppose to be a new one that is more advanced than the one that was comming down with Morphus. Can anyone help on this.
    If life is a bitch, then what is death? I believe that I will take the bitch...

    Control Panel, Internet Options, Connections, LAN settings, make sure all the fields are blank and all the checkboxes are clear.

    Can I assume you tried changing the homepage in IE back to windrivers?

    Done that and it will change my home page in a few minutes. I am more concerned with being redirected through another server somewhere.
    Thanks

First of all I should be going direct to windrivers.com. But I dont. I am first routed to <a href="http://www.inmotiongolf.com" target="_blank">www.inmotiongolf.com</a> then a ton of pop-ups and finally windrivers. I have a pop-up stopper that work great. Also I have a cookie that I cant remove.

    If worse comes to worse just format and reinstall

    Try doing a repair of Internet Explorer, or a complete removal. You can do both of these through the add/remove programs control panel app.
