Search URL Hijacked

The search URL is being changed to point to
www.idgsearch.com. Even when I remove all references to
it from the Registry (and I have to remove references to
www.2020search.com as well) they find a way to get it
back in the registry. I have tried Skybot, Spynuker and
Adware and Symantec, none seem to find the source of the
script.

Any suggestions appreaciated.

Cheers
Geoff
 
Go to www.wilderssecurity.net and get spyware blaster,
keep it updated and it will stop those programs from
being installed. You will also need to go to
Download.com and get a program called SpyBot search and
destroy. This will scan your computer and will take that
hook out of your internet explorer installation. As with
the other program, keep it updated and it will work
nicely.
 
Hi Michael,

I have run Spybot in the past and it didn't find the
culprit.. I have cleaned the registry one more time and
then installed Spyware Blaster so hopefully that will
keep the darn thing from re-infecting. I didn't see any
reference to idgsearch in the Spyware Blaster list but I
will check for updates.

Thanks
Geoff
