Hi, I'm knew so I don't know if this is suppost to go here, but I have a problem.
While using Spybot S&D I came across these entries,
Common Hijacker: Prefix Change
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes\www=http://
Common Hijacker: Prefix Change
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes\=http://
Then I tell Spybot to fix these, but if I scan it again it appears again. So far what these have done is change my hompage to h**p://nkvd.us/ which I think is no longer online, because it always takes me to h**p://www.best-search.info/ and adds h**p://www.XXXXXX-XXXXXX.biz/ which is really gross BTW, ewwwww mature) to my favourites. Whenever I try and delete h**p://www.XXXXXX-XXXXXX.biz/ from my favourites it just comes back a minute or two later, and whenever I try to change my homepage, h**p://nkvd.us/ just becomes my homepage again.
I've gone into regedit, and found and under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes\ it shows:
(DEFAULT) REG_SZ (value not set)
home REG_SZ h**p://nkvd.us/
mosaic REG_SZ h**p://nkvd.us/
www REG_SZ h**p://nkvd.us/
Also under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPrefixe\ it shows:
(DEFAULT) REG_SZ h**p://nkvd.us/
I have even tryed deleting these, but they come back also. If someone could possibly help, please do.
Thanks!
