Recently my homepage has been reset to http://www.find-more.net/index.htm, it seems similar to something like coolwebsearch, but I've run everything I have to get rid of this thing (cwshredder, spybot, Adaware, Norton and this thing called spysubtract. I went to add/remove programs but there didnt seem to be anything there, I used the search in the start menu, and that came up blank too, any suggestions on how to get rid of this thing?

thanks for the suggestions... I do have the latest CWshredder, and but about the registry and hijackthis... I'm not too knowledgable about computers and so hijackthis, even though they give you instructions on what to do has always made me a little nervous about deleting the wrong item or screwing up my computer somehow, if you have any other suggestions keep them coming
