Right peeps downloaded it and ran it, it appears to have done the biz, that dammed search engine has disapeared, but the cheeky buggah installed itself as my homepage, never mind restored my normal page and the machine is booting with that now,
I am a tad confused though, are all these utilities doing the same job, ie Adaware, Zone alarm?, can I delete these other two now?, after all they didn't spot that buggah installing itself,although Adaware does seem to catch some data miners every time I have been surfing and run it, I don't seem to get many new registry entries now though.
Thanks again ORAC and LIAM
