Invasion of my registry

by tx_mad-dog . Updated 22 years ago

In the last few weeks, I have been fighting a very disturbing trend and I want to know if anyone out there has a line on a real fix aside from editing my registry every time www.looking-for.cc changes my home page from my preferred setting to their piece of JUNK search site.
I run spybot S&D and it picks up NOTHING.
I run AdSubtract Pro and it picks up NOTHING.
I run ZoneAlarm Pro and it sees NOTHING.
The way I see it, there is no way I am their only victim.
According to whois, 81.211.105.20 is an offshore site somewhere in Europe and is under the jurisdiction of RIPE. Simply put, this means my only recourse is to find a way to block them, however, I have no idea how they are getting into my system in the first place.
Any insight would be appreciated.
