I'm dealing with a browser hijacker. The homepage on IE changes to a page that wasn't selected as the homepage. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? I have gone through the registry, deleted all cookies, temp files, internet temp files, and I found a program that I deleted with add/remove. I don't know what else to do.

Turn off system restore if it is used in your os.

Download, update, and run the following.

This program is useful in that it shows what is currently loading on startup. You must know what is good and what is bad. Once you check it and fix it is gone. So be sure.

I have had to boot into safe mode and run these.

Good Luck Lee
