I don't quite understand the question. Do you mean they've hijacked your homepage, so that you automatically go there when you open Internet Explorer?

If that's the problem, you should be able to get rid of them by going into Internet Options and changing it on the General tab. Probably the easiest way, unless you decide on "Use Blank", is first to go to the page you want to use and then click on "Use Current". That saves typing in the URL. I use Google http://www.google.co.uk, primarily because it doesn't take many seconds to load, and also because I do a fair amount of searching anyway.

If that doesn't solve the problem, it could be that you've collected some spyware, in which case Putasolutions will probably want you to provide a sample ... er ... sorry ... I mean a log file from "Hijack This!".

There is intelligent life on Earth, but I'm only visiting.

You're right, Barney, something not quite right there

Jack,

please go to this site, and download 'Hijack This!'.

Unzip it, launch Hijack This, then press Scan, and press Save Log

This will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.

open that file
Go to Edit | Select all
Now click Edit | copy to copy it
Come back to web user, Right Click and paste its contents here
