What EXACT URL are you having problems with or do all microsoft.com links
redirect you to searchpage.cc? For example what happens if you try and download Windows Media Player from the Windows Update site http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com? Nevertheless you appear to have been hijacked and I'm surprised that you say that the latest updated versions of neither SpyBot S & D nor AdAware remove this problem. In which case you might want to try the uninstall routine supplied by the hijacker - see http://searchpage.cc/uninstall.htm -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Rob wrote: Thanks Mike M - I am trying to download windows media player from the microsoft.com download web site and get redirected to this URL http://searchpage.cc/1520/ ....can you help? |

Best of luck Ron and please post back and let us know how you get on after
uninstalling this BHO (Browser Help Object). You might also want to grab yourself a copy of BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm) as this can help identify and disable unwanted Browser Help Objects. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Rob wrote: Thanks again Mike, that is the update site I am using....so I will try the uninstall site later today....much appreciated. |

That's really odd.......HijackThis! should have taken that one out. I did
find that if you use the uninstall procedure, make sure the following registry entry does not remain or you will be seeing it again...... Delete registry values: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Browser Helper Objects Select key {FF1BF4C7-4E08-4A28-A43F-9D60A9F7A880} and delete it Info came from http://www.2-spyware.com/parasite-searchpage.html ........be sure you have a current backup of the reg before making any changes.... just in case! Be sure to let us know how you fare. Heirloom, old and hope you get it "Rob" wrote in message ...
