Zemana really helped!
Wow, This worked for something other than zipperfly, I was able to backtrack to find you because of the zipperfly having shown up on another computer, and someone had shown me your link. I used it to help someone who had infected their computer, and they had active virus protection. Thank you for your time to do this, and I will highly recommend your instructions to anyone that views this. It found something using each of the 3 different malware removal tools. Thanks I agree with Brett Strobridge Zemana found the final IE home page infection.
Zemana was the only one that would remove a persistent IE home page infection that everything else missed! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much for your help!
It took me a while to clean my pc, but after following your advice i succeeded. :-)
Thanks alot!
Kind Regards from Denmrak

Don’t know what it came buried in – hopefully it’s gone
