Infected with 'amazingautossearch.com' problem
Graham

06/11/04
My good-for-nothing brother-in-law managed to get this 'amazingautossearch.com' on my computer. It changes my homepage, installs an additional menu item and an extra browser window and the bottom of the page (the things I can see that it does). I'm assuming the thing I can't see that its doing are spyware and adware related, which I don't know much about. I've been following other similar threads to try to delete it myself, to no avail. I have run hijackthis and deleted the obvious ones, and same with spybot. Have also killed messenger.

I would really appreciate some guidance.

Here's my log from hijackthis:
