I really appreciate any help that anyone out there can give me. I have been dealing with this annoying thing for ever and I just want it gone! I've read other postings about this, but I want to be sure that I don't delete anything important. This MS-Connect thing takes over my set homepage and I cannot remove it from my computer. I downloaded the Spybot and it removed a lot of stuff, but could not remove the MS-Connect. So I am pasting in the log from the HijackThis scan. Thank you in advance for your help. :) Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.2 Scan saved at 10:17:15 PM, on 9/19/2003 Platform: Windows ME (Win9x 4.90.3000) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSGSRV32.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SPOOL32.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MPREXE.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSTASK.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SSDPSRV.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETROPA\ONE-TOUCH MULTIMEDIA KEYBOARD\MMKEYBD.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\mmtask.tsk C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETROPA\ONE-TOUCH MULTIMEDIA KEYBOARD\KEYBDMGR.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETROPA\ONSCREEN DISPLAY\OSD.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETROPA\ONE-TOUCH MULTIMEDIA KEYBOARD\MMUSBKB2.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RESTORE\STMGR.exe C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.exe C:\WINDOWS\TASKMON.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSTRAY.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\HPSYSDRV.exe C:\WINDOWS\DELAYRUN.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WMIEXE.exe C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\LOGITECH\HP_FINDER.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\ADAPTEC\DIRECTCD\DIRECTCD.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\BROADJUMP\CLIENT FOUNDATION\CFD.exe C:\WINDOWS\LOADQM.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\REAL\UPDATE_OB\REALSCHED.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DDHELP.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\NORTON ANTIVIRUS\NAVAPW32.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\P2P NETWORKING\P2P NETWORKING.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\REAL\UPDATE_OB\RNATHCHK.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\SBC YAHOO!\CONNECTION MANAGER\IP INSIGHT\IPMON32.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\SUPPORT.COM\BIN\TGCMD.exe C:\WINDOWS\RunDLL.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\MSN MESSENGER\MSNMSGR.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\HP DESKJET 710C SERIES\EREG\REMIND32.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\SBC\CONNECTION MANAGER\CMANAGER.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\OSA.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\YAHOO!\MESSENGER\YMSGR_TRAY.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PSTORES.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\BROADJUMP\CORRECTCONNECT ENGINE\CCD.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\EFFICIENT NETWORKS\ENTERNET 300\APP\ENTERNET.exe C:\WINDOWS\WUAUCLT.exe C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINRAR\WINRAR.exe C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\RAR$EX02.980\HIJACKTHIS.exe R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/sb/*http://www.yahoo.com/search/ie.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/sp/*http://www.yahoo.com R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com/ R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/*http://yahoo.sbc.com/dsl R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/sb/*http://www.yahoo.com/search/ie.html R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/sp/*http://www.yahoo.com R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/*http://yahoo.sbc.com/dsl R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/su/*http://www.yahoo.com R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/su/*http://www.yahoo.com R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Startpagina = file:///C:/Program%20Files/MS-Connect/Portal/portal.html O2 - BHO: NAV Helper - {BDF3E430-B101-42AD-A544-FADC6B084872} - C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\NavShExt.dll O2 - BHO: myBar BHO - {0494D0D1-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWAY\MYBAR\1.BIN\MYBAR.DLL O2 - BHO: Yahoo!

why can you not just click on 'tools' then 'internet options' you then get to select what home page you want? Or am I misreading your problem. I'm a novice at these things
