The past couple of days anytime I open the internet it goes to a site [I search] as my home page. I've changed the home page in Internet settings, but somehow the other url overrides what I set. On top of that, suddenly every time I open the internet I'm bombarded wtih porn pop up windows. I've virus scanned, done spyware/adware runs and can't find anything wrong. Please help.

Spybot Search and Destroy worked. I had already done adware and it did not.

Go to www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html and get CWShredder and HiJack This. These tools will help you get rid of the spyware that you have, which is a varient of Cool Web Search.
