homesearch assistant fiasco

Unknown · February 2005

Can someone please provide me with some direction for removing "homesearch assistant", starting from scratch. It seems to have hjacked my browser. I am currently running windows 98 so the homesearch removal guide did not help. I'd appreciate any guidance I can get. thanks.
