I have XP installed. I have recently been exposed to
Spyware. I have installed AdAware; Spybot and just
purchased a Registry Cleaner. No matter what I do I
cannot get my webpage to open as the one i want. I go
thru the motins of changing it in Internet Tools; I have
changed it in the Control Panel; I have uninstalled
Internet Explorer and yet everytime I try to open my Home
page "SmartSearch" comes up and tries dialing its own
preferences. When I look in Adawre I see all the address
groups??? in my browser page. How do I permanently delete
them and how do I get my Home page to stay in the
Browser?? Please someone help!!! I have Nortons 2004
installed and it is alawys updated. It say i have no
virises. Spy Bot keeps finding CnsMsv.dll and tells me it
is harming my registry. Yet it cannot delete it. Anyone
got any ideas. The only thing I can think of that I
haven't tried is to crash the disc and re-format!!!! Help
