I tried to a search on this particular issue, but did not find an identical problem.
Every few days my home page get hijacked by MSN and a window comes up to download I.E 8 which I have already since last summer. Each time I change back to my home page and click on ask me later on the I.E. 8 popup because there is no other option. I did all the scans with Zone Alarm Extreme Security, ad-aware,
S&D spybot, malwarebytes and CC cleaner. Nothing showed up. I appreciate any help.

If that does not work, try creating a new user account, yours could be corrupted.

Thanks, I tried that, I will see if I can manage to create another user account.

I have downloaded and run the Superantispyware, (discovered one cookie) Ran the CC Cleaner again (incidently, the I.E 8 popup window came on that site) and dowloaded the I.E. 8 again. I will report back if and when my home page (google) gets hijacked again. Thanks guys for the replies.

Well, nothing changed with the I.E.8 popup, I went to the readers digest web site and this time it came up at that site. My home page did not change this time (Yet).
While it is no big deal to click each time let me know later, it is a trifle anoying.
I did download it twice thinking it may stop the popups. I'll post again if my home page get hijacked again by MSN
