Cross Site Scripting vulnerability

[ebel]

A Cross Site Scripting vulnerability has been infecting my PC, and the Avast! Anti -virus SW does not stop it from running. When I start IE, the script forces a new startpage by using the %20 parameter in the about:blank

Even after resetting the home page setting in IE, the scipt is back running when the PC has been re started. Registry?

Do we ou know anything more how to tackle these attacs, except from re installing/uptdating IE? (my version 6.0.2600.nnnn, w2k SP3)

There are lots of security links to follow here.
See, specially, the section Ad-aware and Trojans Tools and System Security.
Good luck
