Browser hijack

[NottNick]

(I also have posted this on the internet explorer forum but it doesn't look
like it's visited as often and this site has helped before)

I'm using IE6 on XP home.

Have got real problem with

mysearchnow.com and
searchweb2.com

they keep hijacking my browser and I am running ad aware (latest config) all
the time to get rid.

I have set the cookies to disallow from the site and do a disc clean up
every time - always the same temp files etc. removed.

I also get an extra search bar "meet soft" which won't go. (can't find it in
any search either).

Also - if disconnected - get a different page (DUPE DELETE) - also regularly
deleted from local settings folder.

I have altered the home page carefully (as web-through etc. takes over).

I have Sygate.

I have searched for these words and deleted where I can.

It just keeps coming back!!

I have tried installing google toolbar to stop popups but searc hijackers
disable it so computer fills up with pop ups too so it often locks up.

There is another computer on the network at home - same configuration, same
web sites visited - but no problems.

Can anyone help?? Can I block it in any way? Can I remove for good?

Help please

Hi

See if these programs find any spyware on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Also see the following links:
