Hello everyone....

Whenever i open internet explorer i would normally have a
homepage (yahoo) but now when i open it
http://www.jetsearch.org/ comes on which is rather
annoying....because even if i change my homepage back to
yahoo....if i close the window, then open internet
explorer again, it goes back to the jetsearch site....i
find this really frustrating, what can i do to get rid of
this??

All advice is welcome...thank you

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove what is almost certainly
a variant of the CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

Hi
YOu have a virus (trojan). You need to download CW
shredder from the site merijn.org and run it on your
system. That will fix your problem...it did mine!

First change your start page to your choice. Do a file search for
runsvc32.exe and delete it. This is the culprit. Do not go back to
that web site or it will come back
