First... From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable
third party
browser extensions." That may disable the hijacker.

Then, CWShredder should help. See if you can download CWShredder from one of
these sites:
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip
http://207.70.190.36/downloads/CWShredder.zip
http://radiosplace.com/
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html
http://www.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
http://66.39.115.252/cwshredder.zip

Which version of Windows are you running?

Post back to this thread. If CWShredder doesn't fix things, we'll post a
HijackThis log.

common hijackers which I deleted. Still have problems. attempted to follow
message links to download "Hijack This" and my browser would not allow me to
access the site to download!!  When I actually was able to attempt to
download, I was redirected repeatedly to the C:\searchpage.html that has
replaced my homepage.  How do I take back my browser? Do I have to reintall
IE? Any other suggestions?
