MSN search

[Guest]

I have MSN as my home page and just put in a new hard drive. My problem is
that now when I go to MSN it adds another search area on the left of the
screen. I would like to get it back like it was and just open the MSN
webpage.
Other question is when I do a search on MSN it opens another search which I
believe is Simpli.com. I would rather not have that pop up also. Please
anyone with some help would be greatly appreciated.

Also I just received an error message today saying invalid Syntax.
Thanks

You've got spyware, adware, a trojan, a search engine hijacker, or a home
page hijacker.

Run these tools weekly

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.

If you’re still having problems after running these then run HijackThis
and post the log to one of the specialty forums, _NOT_ this one.

Phil I really don't think that could be the reason because I have all that
you mention and run them daily rather than weekly. Any other suggestions?

Thanks again
