Eliminating porn page from PC

by neilmarsh . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

A few days ago, a filthy page appeared on our PC whenever anyone attempted to “click” on the Internet Explorer” shortcut on our desktop.I’ve 4 children, and they’de all seen it before I knew of it’s existence.It contains some pretty rough pics, and has upset my youngest two children.
I’ve downloaded Adaware 5.83,ran it a couple of times, but it still re-appears whenever the machine is rebooted.
The offending page address is:
http://kov4l.com and the index at the foot of the page reads:
Apache/1.3.22 Server at max.web 1 host.net
I’m at my wits end, now, and would really appreciate some help with this. my network provider suggested I re-format the whole disk, but not being a wizz with PC’s, this sounds like a lot of work, especially if there’s another, simpler way to do it.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Neil.
