Browser Highack Blaster. Found this over at PC World.
Your browser is just that: yours. The last thing you want is to have someone else take it over. This program watches several components of Internet Explorer to make sure no one hijacks your browser or tries to slip spyware into it. If an invader does attempt to change your IE's home page, default Page, or Search Page, Browser Hijack Blaster will let you know. The program also keeps a database of known values common to spyware programs; when possible, it gives details and specialized instructions for shaking loose the leeches.

Damn, now my shoe phone is broke!! j/k
Seriously, this thing is killing me.
The spysweeper keeps notifing me that the CWS is trying to hijack my web page, and sometimes it does!! I have added every program I can think of, and still cant get this damn thing off......arrrghhh..
HELP KMA!! :scared :sadwave:
KMA- "But it will still allow active scripting. So click on the "Custom Level" button, and follow these instructions:
Configure IE so that it does not run Active scripts automatically:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, click the Security tab, click the Internet Web content zone, and then click Custom Level.
In the Settings box, scroll down to the Scripting section, and click Disable under Active scripting and Scripting of Java applets.
Click OK, and then click OK again."
Did this also and when I go to get my lines from sportsbook.com the Active X error message keeps popping up, and I have to keep deleting it? Should I re-enable these controls?

Make sure you guys go into the control panel and add/remove programs and if you see stuff that you did not install or you don't use uninstall them.
After that if your running XP, type msconfig crom the run line and go to the startup tab. You could choose to load the diagnostic startup and see if that helps prevent some of the problems you are having.
