annoying web page will not go away

[brian]

This web page that is supposed to be a search engine
keeps replacing my default home page (yahoo.com) with its
address. (http://your-search.cc/). When I delete it as
the home page and again make Yahoo.com my homepage, it
eventually comes back. So I tried to restrict the page,
but that doesn't work either. When I'm directed to this
your search page, it has a contact us button which if
pressed has a page that says if you have this page and do
not want it anymore, then download their clean up
software. I did not do this for obvious reasons.

What can I do to get rid of this junk

Thank You,
Brian

You should NOT need any spyware programs to resolve this issue.

Try the following:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.tmksoft.xplugin.html

Once you have unregistered the xplugin.dll, you can change you
homepage back to what it used to be through IE or by editing the
following registry values:

Location:

[HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\ Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

Values:

Search Page
Start Page


Hope this helps!
