[ECA]

Something has taken over your search engine if you are getting that type of data.

[so0perb0y]

[Archon]

[so0perb0y]

[ECA]

Find, Spybot, spyblaster, and Adaware, free versions, update them, run them and follow instructions.

Also check to see if you can change it in options.

THIS IS ONLY A START. They may NOT kill it. Then come back.

[Ioman]

Spybot, Adaware first.

[ECA]

spyblaster has a Lock for this, so others cant change your home page.
