thanks your post is ever so helpfull.
now back to the helpingness stuff
Is there any thing in your hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in winxp ,C:\windows\ in others..)?
any strange processes running? have you done a spyware scan?
RE: A picture istead of the site by zaher1988 on 08-29-2005 at 03:00 PM
NoOOOO i'm not making a fake one, it used to happen with me always, and i to refresh the site about 4 times until the real one appears. and by the way, i also found the photo above in my msn today, i mean the person! it was on the news.
Edit: yes i used MS antispy and lavasoft adware but before i get this things, mean my pc was cleared form spywares 5 minutes before checking the site
i had this in the task manager Adobelm_cleanup.0001 , ramaint.exe these are the only unusual running programs!

clear cache and cookies and then try again...
RE: A picture instead of the site by zaher1988 on 08-29-2005 at 03:23 PM
ok i'm sure clearing the Internet temp will help but why actually this appears??
coz later i will also face the same thing
RE: A picture instead of the site by Rubber Stamp on 08-29-2005 at 03:27 PM
hmm..how often does this occur?
RE: A picture instead of the site by zaher1988 on 08-29-2005 at 03:53 PM
umm no specific time! i mean sometime it happen once other times about 5

Thats the strangest thing i've ever seen....Seems like it would be a spyware process or some sort of new virus...People do make viruses to do very stupid things like that.
RE: A picture instead of the site by zaher1988 on 08-29-2005 at 08:54 PM
so u think it's a program that uses the photos which are in the internet temp files, to make them appear instead of the site.
ok then why it 's only MSGHELP site ??

I think it just a internet explorer cache-cookie problem, try to uninstall IE and install it again and see if it still happends. Or else... Get Firefox

well. I guess you can't remove it completely as it's embedded in the core, but you can uninstall it and then install it again from the windows update site.
RE: A picture instead of the site by ShawnZ on 08-30-2005 at 04:25 PM
No actually you can't 'uninstall' it. And you cant update to a version you already have either.
RE: A picture instead of the site by CookieRevised on 08-30-2005 at 05:19 PM
Yes you can re-install it
