My browser has been hijacked by web-search, so every time I search it comes up with results which are all commercial, giving me links to buy this and that, please help!

Thanks for the info, I have done waht you stated but when I search I still recieve results from commercial websites. I am not sure entirely which parts of the logfile to remove, would it be OK to post the logfile and have some 1 check over it and advise me on which 2 delete?

Unless najitech or "Danial" can offer to read your log.
