been hijacked downloaded the shredder but now when i open my internet it says connot find 'file:///c/searchpage.html: make sure search path or internet adress is correct. i went and reset my homepage back to yahoo but it keeps doing it what do i do please help

open internet explorer. go to menu at top and click "Tools> internet options> Programs and click the "Reset Web Setting" button and do what it says. If still a problem download anti hijjacking software. http://www.wilders.org/ has lots of free security stuff

this did not work website could not find anything does any1 have anymore ideas

set your homepage to something... tools->internet option ->homeepage make it www.google.com or something

go to <http://download.com.com/3001-8022-10214379.html>get adaware this program will take care of all the spyware hijacks malware etc. run it restart your computer and run it again. if that doesnt work download "hijack this" <--be careful with this one it will let you hurt your computer as well as heal it check out the site if your in the area check out a show

http://www.computing.net/windows2000/wwwboard/forum/57741.html has useful suggestions/references. A few foks here have also suggested that you disable system restore prior to running the utils (e.g. CWShredder); also to run the utils in safe-mode... (A search thru' recent/earlier pests on all forums/fora for similar problems will bring you more input.)

I've run spybot and ad aware. i've gone to "Tools> internet options> Programs and clicked the "Reset Web Setting" button. i've changed the defaut web page. it works until i clost ie and then reopen it. I've even gone into regedit, msconfig, and add/remove programs to clear out anything that looked foreign. any other suggestions? Thank you
