| I am running a Dell Laptop and not only has the browser been hijacked but
so has the search site.  I run Ad-Aware and it finds that the homepage and
browser have been hijacked. In fact it finds about 15 files stating that is
has been hijacked. We delete it everytime we start up the computer and reset
our homepage. But everytime you click on the "Home" button or restart
Internet explorer it comes right back! We run off of cable connection and we
have mo clue what to do now. It claims that it is loading a blank web page
"about:blank", but it is actually loading
http://www.s1di.d8t.biz/index.php?aid=20038  Is there anywhere I can report
this and/or fix the problem with out having to scrap the computer and start
again. We take college courses on this computer so we couldn't do without
it.....
