HELP! Home search, again
Hey everyone,
I'm having the same problem as many others with "Home Search" It resets my homepage and causes my brower to open extremely slowly...I'd appreciate it if anyone work me through the solution to the problem. I've tried all the major spyware programs includung adaware, spybot, aboutbuster, and homesearch remove. I've also looked at posts about others' logs, but couldn't really adapt the instructions to mine. I'll try not to restart before reading your reply. Thanks so much for your help...home search is so infuriating.

What did you do that you think the problem is solved? Did you follow our Home Search Assistant Removal Guide?
Why don't you post a new log for review just in case.
As for Media Player, just download and re-install it:
