Home page trouble

[veggiehunk]

I usually set my default home page to Yahoo. Recently, a
strange generic search engine has encroached itself in my
computer and automatically kicks out Yahoo as my default
home page. It is very annoying, as I have to repeatedly
keep setting the default home page back to Yahoo.

The URL for this search engine is:

res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776

If anyone has any solution to this problem, I would
greatly appreciate it your help.

Thanks a lot!
