It seems I have become victim to the spyware/adware
demons. (I can tell by reading the discussion board that I
am not alone). I was having the same problem with my home
page and my search page changing. I ran SpySweeper which
found a program called SubmitHook.dll on my computer. I
uninstalled it and solved my home page problem but ever
since then I have been getting pop-up ads from "Only the
Best" and "Search-777". I am too scared to install either
Adaware or Spybot because of the reviews that were given
on Cnet. I have tried countless times to update my McAfee
virus definitions but I keep getting an error page. (Is
this related somehow?) I was wondering if anyone has
figured out a way to remove this adware or if anyone has
had any luck in removing it with McAfee VirusScan?
Thanks,
Monica
