Hello Deedlane,
Find4u is a trojan horse...
I suggest you download Trojan Remover 6.16 this program is a 30 days trial freeware, but fully updated.
Read well the "helpme" file to use correctly the two scans provided by the program, one to check your memory RAM, second one to hunt, detect and eradicate the worm hidden somewhere into your hard drive.
Good Luck

Install an anti-hijack prog like Browser Hijack Blaster or use Spybot S&D to lock your homepage setting otherwise you will be hijacked again & again.

Good luck

many thanks for your replies.

Tried cwshredder & trojan remover, trojan remover found a thing called JEEM, cw removes 4 or 5 things, but find4u comes back when i reboot.
Have downloaded hijackthis and obtained log file would this be of use.
