I was browsing the net and now my home page keeps changing
to "approvedlinks.com/main/hp.htm" When I go to the
registry I find entries that make it so. If I delete them
and reboot the reappear. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem. This past week I've had this
annoying search engine become my homepage. I've deleted
my cookies and run spy ware software and it keeps coming
back. When I change my homepage back to my usual site and
close the browser, the pesty site doesn't show up as my
homepage. But when I reboot my computer, there it is
again!

What is the registry? Thanks in advance.

Happend to me too
getting home page :approvedlinks.com/main/hp.htm
and redirecting to : http://here4search.com/ too
I tried to delete from registry but when I log off and
back on it changes registry again.

Please advise, Is there a way to fix that?

Ok, the website that you are being redirected to, is because you have
a parasite on your computer. Get spyhunter and remove it then you will
be ok. I'm also trying to track down the registerd user of this
domain.

At the bottom of this here4search.com page there is a 'CONTACT US'
link. Click on this to get instructions on how to un-install the
program that is causing this. It lists 2 Spyware tools that will work.
I used CWShredder. It was easy to run and worked. My home page is back
to normal.
