Note: this type hijack indicates an unpatched machine, that is lacking
in "Defense". Please visit Windows Update to avoid these exploits.

Hi,

Your search engine settings have been hijacked. Merijn.org is unavailable
(the place to be for CWShredder - but it's also available from other
download sites). I've seen removal instructions at
http://www.pchell.com/support/hugesearch.shtml

Kind regards
