Lavasoft helped me get a freeware program called "Hijack This". It makes a list of your registry and you can then delete suspect files. Be carefull that you don't get rid of needed stuff - the browser hijacker can insert instructions into the registry that look quite innocous. There is a forum at Lavasoft where you can send a copy of the registry and they will tell you which ones to dump.

and it takes over your Internet Explorer homepage? You can change it to something else and it's back the next time you crankup your computer. Anybody have any idea how to get rid of it? I've even gone into my registry for Internet Explorer and Modified it by deleting/removing it. Just a nusiance that something is so invasive like that.
