Right Thomas...
This should be in the PCWorks archives..
I had my home page hijacked, downloaded  Adaware and it removed the offending file and 
I got my home page
back.

Actually, if you check out the site for the CWShredder, you will he
talks about SpuBots failure in this area.  The portion of SpyBot that is
supposed to protect against that, fails to do so because the actions to
reset the start page are during the boot process, and takes place before
SpyBot can stop it.  I had the option set, and kept repeatedly having to
reset it anyway.
In fact, the only thing it really DOES prevent, is the user from
changing the page, and maybe a few low level threats.  These trojans in
their latest variant, slide right past SPyBot's protection in my
experience (at least in the free version).
