I've had it with IE whatever version.
Yesterday after I found the P2 Asimo stuff, I was looking
for something with Google. The usual dead sites showed up
and I thought nothing of it.
Last night I went to look for something and my homepage
was redirected to an unwanted search engine. I can't get
rid of it, even with spyware eliminating software.
If I save the homepage and log out as the current user and
log in again, the homepage is always redirected to the stupid
search engine. I have done everything possible, even getting
a service pack upgrade from Microsoft, but it is still there.
I eliminated or moved suspect files to another folder, but it
still exists.
I am going to search the entire drive for some specific byte patterns and
find out what file that thing sits in.

I downloaded Mozilla and I think I will kiss that IE shit good-bye
along with some other things.
Mozilla has a built in popup blocker and is extremely secure.
It works fine here and elsewhere. :D/

Den, its a registry edit. usually software called hijack this will repair that for you.

see the attachment in the next post

try this :)

you will have to unzip it, the extension .exe is not allowed. (for good reason I bet)

click the config button to set the default search engines.....

Thanks Landman, that did the trick.

A line like "Run regedit -s sys.reg" was writing to the registry to hijack the homepage.
It saved me a lot of time looking around.
I also found some .hta files which is another popular hijacking method.

Thank you Landman ! It's useful !

Switched to mozilla not too long ago, after having been an IE man for years.
Go mozilla! :bigrinnin:
