hi, it seems that i have some computer errors left from
recent spywear attack. i have gotten rid of the spywear,
but it seems that the address bar will not recognize
certain addresses. Also, the default home page has
multible numbers and percentage symbols that cannot be
deleted. How do I get my computer running properly
again. thanks for your help

What you explain makes me think there is still spyware on your system. Try
spybot.

It sounds like you still have CoolWebSearch, a truly evil piece of
malware. Here's a link to a site with information about it:
