can't change home page

[Danielle]

I ran both adadware and spybot, but I am still getting the homepage in IE as
www.all-websearch.com.

Anyone know how to remove this? Norton Anti-virus won't remove it either...

Is your AdAware the latest SE version and did you update it first?
Is your Spybot version 1.3 and did you update that first?

If yes to both then you do have one of the more sticky ones.

See MVP Jim Eshelman's Spyware Quick Fix page at
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm and try #3 (CWShredder) and then
#5 (HiJackThis)

Good luck

There is an option in Spybot that "locks" you homepage. It is under the
"immunize" tab, make sure that is unchecked. If that is it then change your
homepage in IE then go back into Spybot and check it back.

Hope it helps...
