Don’t know if I am the rite place but I hope someone might be able to help me.
My explorer homepage has been set to here4search and whatever I try I cannot remove it. I have looked at the forum containing others with the same problem but think I must be a bit thick as I cant get my head around any of the information posted. I have run spybot but this has no affect. And as a not very techno newbey I really haven’t a clue. Please can anyone help???? :Totaly :confused: and going :crazy

Hi Jim

It got too long. That ones a bad one. If you are starting over, Start with some good Spyware Programs

http://forums.designtechnica.com/showthread.php?t=5583

AdAware, SpyBot, SpywareBlaster.

Run and Update Adaware and Spybot at least once a week to keep it clean.
Update SpywareBlaster once a week Enable all Protection and let it run in the background.........Jim

Have done VPN Install CD from Uni Spybot etc. You learn something new every day hu?
