Hi,

See this link for assistance in removing this browser hijacker:

Incidentally, you can reinstall Internet Explorer by running the ie.inf file
in the C:\Windows\Inf folder. However, reinstalling will not resolve this
issue, only removing the bug will.

1. Check your system for all "hijackware":

Dealing with Hijackware
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
