My Internet Explorer's search window was recently
hijacked by a homepage named searchwww.com. It installed
it's own search page, search url, and search assistant. I
got rid of those areas with the help of my Ad-aware
program, which just erased it from my registry. The thing
is, there is still an internet shortcut of theirs that
keeps trying to popup at about 49 minutes past the hour,
every hour. It doesn't acually popup because of my google
pop-up blocker, but i'm about to just leave it there. I
have been looking around on the net and it is believed to
be script. Also the shortcut's address is
www.searchwww.com/vbs/, vbs standing for Visual basics
script. Can someone with expertise please look into this
or impart some of your wisdom towards me? I have been
trying to figure this out for a week now.

Thank you very much,
M
