secondthought and popnav

[jc]

A search engine called popnav somehow keeps resetting
itself as my home page and an icon called secondthought
appeared on my desktop. I could not find secondthought
to uninstall it. Anyone know how to get rid of
these... Thx.

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
