hi...if anyone can help me with all these problems i would be sooooo happy n thankful : ) Problem: when i open ie my homepage loads fine (google) but when i search for anything I get fake results. Ex. if I type in Hofstra the first result should be www.hofstra.edu etc. However I get random links to other crappy search engines ex "search hofstra at blowsearch.com" search hofstra at crawler.com" etc. I ran updated scans of spybot, ad-aware, and mcafee and hijack this. I immunized my comp. ran hijack this (thought i deleted everything) things worked fine. but now the problem has returned. I re-did everything. found like one or two things still here, fixed again, went to safe mode n deleted exe files, etc. also...just a few minutes ago i tried to go to a different site and all that came up was "www.f---report.com" and i dont know why. here's what I have for my hijack this. if anyone can help me fix this...lemme know. thanks soooo much.
