Get Ad-Aware and Pest Patrol and scan the machine. Remove all you find.
Also, look for hooks in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run (Runonce)
and Runonceex keys for possible offending applications.
Also, these types of scripts also put hooks into IE DLL or replace/update
them. You can probably see what registry key Iexplore.exe is looking at to
run stuff using regmon 4.36 and filtering for iexplore.exe only.
HTH,

Subject: [THIN] OT: Preventing script from launching IEXPLORE
Hi everyone. I am wondering if anyone experienced this before:
The W2K workstation launches internet explorer by itself and it is pointed
at a porn site. This happens while the person is not using IE at all. IE
was close and the only thing open that time is Outlook. Seems like a script
that launches it is hidden somewhere and I was wondering if anyone knows how
to clear that.
Thanks for all your help
Vince
