Hi Alan,
For the past few days all addresses entered by me default to "http;//searchpage.cc/1524/" which produces a page called "searcheverything!" . This only applies to my I.E.6 browser. Netscape is unaffected.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this intruder would be very welcome.

Download the utility CWshredder:

Unzip - close *all* instances of IE & OE, hit the executable and
follow the prompts.

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run
at boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this
program gives you are generally just informative. Most of the
programs it will come up with are valid programs that you actually
want running. You'll have to go through the results and tell the
program to delete unwanted programs. If you can't figure out what
some of the programs are, don't just delete them, research them
and/or post them so experts can let you know what the program does.
Just type the program name into google which gets
a decent answer pretty quickly.
Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm .
It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program.
It is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and
give you the ability to disable them.
Hope this helps.
