Any suggestions for how to remove http://globe-finder.cc/
as the home page. It used to be MSN, but somehow
somebody using my computer stumbled across globe-finder,
which then highjacked the home page. I clear it our on
the options page, but it always comes back. Thank you.

You need
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
http://mjc1.com/files/merijn/cwshredder.zip
A small utility for removing CoolWebSearch (aka
CoolWwwSearch, YouFindAll, White-Pages.ws and a dozen other
names). Spybot S&D tends to forget essential parts of the
hijack, so until it updates, you can just this to
completely remove the hijack. Updated to remove the new
variants once they come out.
