After rebooting my computer, the IE homepage defaults back to http://members:fortunecity.com/.
I tried to delete this line in the registry but once again after rebooting the line reappears in the registry. How can I get rid of this problem. I have generated a startup list log posted below. Can anyone check it and kindly advise. Thanks.

Here the startup list log:

Try to get attention of Metallica or rjmac. They seems to know lot of spyware.

Search with google gave hint that at least surferplugin and RdxIE are something you should get rid of. Also Qtstub.exe is suspicious (found reference at www.spywareinfo.org). There might be more.

That is a startup log, please post a Hijack this log.
If you haven't already, please get Spybot S&D to clear out most of the spyware.
Short tutorial and download link here:
http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ (http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/>http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/</a>)
and download 'Hijack This!'. Unzip, double-click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log somewhere, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.
