Hijacking

[Odon]

A website find4u.net has replaced msn.com as my homepage.
When I enter msn.com I get find4u.net. How can I reset
msn.com to be my home page? Internet options don't work
unless website is on screen.

I saw one other post yesterday on the same issues. Looks like a new
parasite. Get help from this forum.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

If you get a 404 error or Access denied, try:
http://216.180.252.218/~spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:

Hijack This! worked just right. I was able to get rid of
the offending file (and a few others) with it. Thank you
for the info on the program and for the quick response.
