When ever I open Internet Explorer, my NAV pops up saying it has discovered and deleted the virus: Trojan.StartPage.
I tried a full system scan and ran my spyware and deleted all the spyware. So I restarted my Computer but this virus is still being found.
Anyone know how to get rid of it completly or had this problem?
What should I do?

Have you tried out Microsoft's new AntiSpyware scanner (currently in BETA form)? ([URL]http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=1854050[/URL])

Fantastic piece of software.

That might be the problem.

Many spyware checkers are Spyware themselves!

If it is spyware running then you can disable it from starting when you load up XP buy going START -> RUN -> msconfig ->StartUp -> Untick the spyware item listed eg. XXXTOOLBAR.EXE and restart your computer. When the computer reboots then you should be able to completely remove it with any sypware removal tools.
