Home Page keeps changing to Luckysearch.net

[C. Pearce]

HELP!!! I keep changing my home page, but each reboot, I
get the same www.luckysearch.net as my home page. I have
already deleted it from the registry but it keeps coming
back! What am I doing wrong?

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded.

You are a victim of the CWS Hijacker. Go to this site have a read and under
Removal Instructions there is a link to download a zipped program called CWS
Shredder that will eliminate this scumware from your computer.
