Browser Hijacked

[Stacey McClure]

Hello,

I'm sure you have heard this a hundred times, but here
goes...my browser keeps getting hijacked. I do not click
on any pop-ups or download anything that I don't know the
source of. this is very frustrating because when I click
on my search button on IE 6.0, I expect to get msn search
and the other day I got "search-it-now.com". I fixed all
of that by running a few scans on my system. Today I open
my browser and another one hijacked my home page. It was
called "blazefind". now I can't get this one off. My
search button doesn't work. Do you have any suggestions?
Is anyone else aware of this problem? Please answer back
soon.

As a start, run Spybot
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download
and delete the red entries. Also run CWShredder
http://www.spychecker.com/program/cwshredder.html If you
still experience problems, run HijackThis
http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/">HijackThis and post a copy of
the report on http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php? so
that you can be given further assistance. Good luck.

go to pestpatrol.com it's a good tool for such purposs, but it's not for
free.
take also a look at spywareinfo.com they explain you what the hijacker did
and what you could do to remove it.
I also had this dang hijacking active-x drive-by-installations sometimes,
they're annoying and also quite dangerous.
