Bryan,

If I were you I would try using HiJackThis. It is more of a manual method of
doing things, but it will most likely show you the registry key in which
that URL exists.

I found that link through Google, but it should work. Hope this helps. Just
be careful not to disable the wrong thing. Good luck.

-Eric

Subject: Need help on Spyware 

Hi all,
      I'd encountered some problems with my PC, the Internet Explorer
always get redirected to a page called http://merdeka.hebat.com when I try
to browse. I've tried to scan with Ad-aware and Spybot and nothing was
found, on top of that I've also do a full system scan with 3 antivirus
software and the out come also tell me that my system is clean from virus.
What I suspect here is somehow the spyware change my registry and redirect
me to the page. Can someone help me ??


Rdgs,
Bryan
