can not get this browser hijacker off my computer. I have done the appropriate scans on my computer that your website recommends. I shut down and re started and the messages started popping up again that my browser is trying to change.

    Hi sprosperi

    Sounds like you may have a browser hijacker infection. As a first step try this.

    If you have a fast internet connection (Broadband), run online scans at Panda Activescan and Housecall. Housecall has now been upgraded to beta version 6.0 detect which removes both viruses and spyware that it finds. Make sure they both perform a full system scans and please use the “Autoclean” option when running Housecall.

    If either/both scans find something they cannot fix - perhaps because the infected files are "in use" - please make a note of the file(s) concerned and post the details back to this thread.

    If still not fixed go here....

    ...and read over all the suggestions for additional scans with Adaware, Spybot etc.

    If none of this fixes your problem download HijackThis here, run it through your system (under the option to do a scan and save a log file) then post that logfile to this thread.

    Someone will look at it then and give more advice as necessary.
