hotloot.com problem
Hi
i recently re installed windows xp after which i connected to the internet to do some browsing. some how i got a my homepage hijacked and it changed to hotloot.

which was easy enough to remove and my default page returned but now i have aproblem that windows inet expolorer occasionally redirects me to hotloot. It also has become unstable and constantly crashes.

which makes me think i have a spyware problem or a virus. I've run spybot it comes up clean and i have run norton anti virus alll with up to date definitons but it also comes up clean.

I tried running adware spy as well but that crashes after it finds a problem so i can't make out what it's found.

any advise has anyone heard of hotloot.com cos there is nothing on the internet about it..

thanks help would def be appriciated
cheers chris

Re: hotloot.com problem
This one is new to me as well. Could you first of all run an Online Virus Scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com. Let it remove any infections it may find.

Uninstall Adware Spy, its a rogue spyware remover.

Also have a read of the info in the Hijack This Logs post at the top of this forum and run the recommended programs.
