Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My IE (6.0) in XP (SP2) when opened changes the URL to:

http://www.404ads.net:8000/redirect.php?q=…=20040921035542

My homepage is set to http://www.yahoo.com. Tech support through my cable modem company couldn't help. AdAware was unable to find anything. Thanks in advance for your time.

Andy

Status:

It appears as if the website that was populating MSIE has been removed. However, MSN will still not access the internet. "This page cannont be displayed" appears when I double-click to open. Yahoo! is the webage that display's in the address…as it should. I am able to access the internet with an alternate browser/AOL/etc.

Also, when running System Security Suite,I get the message "C:DOUME~/LOCALS~1/TEMP/svpjk.tmp

I haven't noticed anything else about the behavior of my computer.
