Browser Hijacked

[Greg]

My IE browser keeps getting hijacked and a fake search
engine keeps popping up. I keep trying to remove it using
anti-spyware programs but it comes back next time I log
in. Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of it once
and for all??

All of these sites offer good help and they're all busy. Be patient. ;-)
