if you boot in safe mode you should be able to access the admin account and run any anti-spyware software (e.g. spybot, superantispyware etc)
You using Vista or XP? What site is the malware redirecting you to - that will aid in the exact fix if you wish to do it manually. _________________ >>> Aktiv8 <<<

Otherwise, a few posts on different forums seems to suggest that Superantispyware gets rid of this bugger _________________ >>> Aktiv8 <<<
