Tried adaware. Quarantined a lot of files but still
didn't get rid of the homepage. Checked HOSTS and deleted
a couple of files, no change. I tried to get to
HijackThis and got a 404 NotFound error.
Any other suggestions? Except for slowing down my machine
when I first boot on and being a real nuisance, this
doesn't seem to be stopping me from doing anything, but I
want to get rid of it. Thanks.
