Everytime I change my homepage, it goes back to the
following default:
http://out.true-counter.%
63%6f%6d/%61/?%31%30%31

How do I get rid of this default and put in the
appropriate default?
 
I dowloaded Spyhunter, which removed some files, but I
still had the problem with my default not being fixed. I
set my homepage for the current setting. When I turned it
on, it was changed to the blank setting with the following
website on the blank setting:

http://globe-finder.com/

Now what else can I do? Spyhunter did not fix that.
 
Global-Finder (CoolWebSearch spyware). This is a trojan/spyware that hijacks
Internet Explorer start and search settings to one of several different web
sites

Download CoolWebSearch destroyer from here:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

And download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com and update it. It eliminates
for any other spyware, if present in the system.
