help. Can't get rid of hugesearch.net

[Joe]

My default homepage on Internet Explorer keeps coming
up to hugesearch.net I have updated virus defintions and
I even use spybot. Spybot will get rid of it for a
little while and let me change my homepage back to
msn.com but after awhile my homepage reverts back to
hugesearch.net. Does anybody know how I can get rid of
it once and for all?????

This is a Cool Web Search trojan. Run CWShredder from
http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html Also should keep up to date with
Windows patches.

Kimmy, your WONDERFUL. I was at my wits-end over this highjacking

nonsense. I salute you for leading so many of us to the solution.
LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!

Glad to help out, but the real thanks should go to Merijn, author of
CWShredder and HijackThis, and one of the real unsung heroes of the
anti-spyware effort. Seems like a losing battle sometimes but because of
people like Merijn there is still hope.
