IE Hijacked

[Guest]

Hi
Internet explorer has been hijacked by Search2Web. Have tried Ad-Aware and
Spybot and its now been suggested that I try HijackThis - but I have no
knowledge of how to use this. Would anyone be able to assit me or suggest an
alternative way to remove it?
Thanks

Adaware and Spybot should always be updated. Hijack This is extremely simple
to use. Sometimes it picks up what the others miss. You can get it here:

There are instructions you can view at

I have found that even after using all three, there may still be a file or
two that they may miss which you need to find and delete manually..

I can also recommend Spyware Blaster. Get it here:

HTH.
