 Hello: My start page set-up has been hijacked. No matter what I do the web-site "Search-Click.Com" pops up. I re-adjust the homepage setting in the browser but it doesn't work. I've used the WHOIS process to search out the perpetrators at "Search-Click.Com" and I'm going to use my powers as an attorney to give them the business. In the mean-time, can anyone suggest a fix for this malicious text which has embedded itself somewhere on my poor computer.

Its nothing except ad's. Let the start page open whatever it requires, then u'll see their is some option there for remover. If not, go to add/remove programs and see junk new softwares and remove them. |

In my experience Adaware seems to miss a lot of things, Spybot S&D (Freeware) is very good: http://www.safer-networking.org/ - http://www.safer-networking.org/ If that doesn't solve the problem get HijackThis: http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html - http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html Which should let u locate & fix the problem... |

There is an easy way to remove this in the registry. OR just reinstall IE. Some Malicous code did this to me but as it did not install anything it did not count as ad-aware. |
