search engine page

[Bob]

Yesterday I posted a message regarding a search engine
that pops up occasionally and got some suggestions about
Spy Bot.
I downloaded it, and was amazed what was on my
computer...THANKS!!!
However, the problem remains...search-aid, STILL appears
occasionally........

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your feedback!

Sounds like spyware or a home page hijacker.

Run these tools weekly: (make sure to update them weekly as well)
spybot -- http://www.safer-networking.org/
ad-aware -- http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
HiJackThis - http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

New exploits come out on a daily basis anymore. It takes a while for these
programs, such as SpyBot/Ad-Aware to catch up with them.

I have spybot and ad-aware...I ran a scan with
HiJackThis, but I'm a little nervous about what I'm
looking for...what to delete...some are obvious
