It seems that I've been hit with some sort of spyware or
hijack attempt. My homepage has been changed to
http://icanfindit.net/ or http://4-counter.com/?b=encry.
I have done everything I know how to do to fix the
problem, but it hasn't worked. I've run my anti-virus,
AdAware, Bazooka, Spybot, Spysweeper, and Geeksuperhero,
and none of the programs have worked. They recognize the
problem (in the registry), but when I tell them to fix
it, they say they do, but the homepage still gets changed
automatically shortly thereafter. I've tried to change
some settings in the registry, and after changing them,
the problem still came back. Is there a simple fix to
this, or is it going to be a major headache? It's
already causing me enough trouble as it is.

Thanks for anyone's help in advance...

Josh
