Reply: (edit)yeah i tryed that.
im good i figured it out, finally.
i ran in safe mode. used hijackthis and fixed all the stuff that the site said was "nasty". then when going into windows and realizing that it didn't come back, i ran spy sweeper 3.5 and took out all the excess crap. then i just reset my home page through that program and everything is honkie dorie.
thanx anyways! Asus A7N8X-X
