Hello Folks.......I seek help and benevolence!!!!

I am running XP home and have recently upgraded to IE7 which sadly seems to have brought many problems with it.
Since upgrading I have had a Smartbridge problem which I appear to have solved with the help of Pattie Mcloud. TYVM again!
Also, I have began to experience many unresponsive websites for which Microsoft are continually asking me to submit error reports. This I do.
Today however the situation has worsened in as much as when I have attempted to visit sites in my favourites list I am finding them to be hijacked.
Currently my homepage is hijacked. Despite the tab at the top of the page and Internet Options-General both showing the correct address (www.mcfc.co.uk) the actual page that is displayed is Drugcategories.net. URL http//jupk.com/?dn=drugcategories.net&pid=IPO1172SS . Similar pages are shown in lieu of other sites.
My system is protected by Defender Beta2, Sygate Firewall, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard, Blueyonder PC guard, Scotty and Spybot (which has been updated and run with one programme removed. I have also run HijackThis and remove a load of 017 stuff . Bazooka only shows and mouse and key board program which I do not believe to br the problem.
I run Reg Mech on start up and I have restored to an earlier date, alas to no avail.

Has anyone any ideas on how I should proceed.

Kind Regards......Sychman.


If in fact your browser has been hijacked this this probably won't work.
Go to add and remove programs and remove IE7. See if that solves your problem. Your machine will revert back to IE6.
