We loved msn.com as our "search" page, however, about 1-2
weeks ago, whenever we typed anything in either the serach
box or the address bar, we were re-directed to
search.xrenoder.com. Then devil pporn pages popped up.
We've done everything we can think of, installed all the
microsoft updates, installed ad-aware 6.0 (got rid of a
LOT of junk!) but it is still happening. Any other
suggestions???? THANKS!

Thank you for sending the link to Spybot Search &
Destroy. I installed it and everything went back to
normal. We are very happy campers. It was amazing at how
easy and clean the application is. Many thanks again.

Sorry for responding so late, glad to hear the news.
Glad you like SpyBot and that it worked for you.
Remember, update and run it often, just like your pre-installed
anti-virus scanner.

Regards and good luck
