Something keeps changing my IE homepage to ads.revenue websites that are
trying to sell me things like gambling, tours, etc. I have changed it back
each time in the "options" menu, but it changes it right back. How do I find
the .exe that is causing this and permanently delete it? It is also adding
desktop shortcuts that direct you to the various ads.revenue websites.
 
Just a FWIW: The site does have many good links but I'd think twice about what
else the site recommends when they recommended something to remove Kazaa that's
going to also destroy something you NEED.

I was glad to see that someone has finally noticed the destructive things
Weatherbug does to your machine.

When I installed weatherbug [how neat current weather right their in your tray
24/7] The removal information was non existent. the information that came with
weatherbug on how to remove it pointed to a 404 website. The add/remove entry
was protected against removal except for win98 power tweak tools.
I had to hand remove [and write down every registry entry] every registry entry
several times. Weatherbug rebuilt itself if you didn't get the important stuff
on the 1st try.
When I found it Ad-aware hadn't even heard of it yet.
No one had any removal info on it.

You are totally wrong in your statement. What was recommended to
remove Kazaa resulting in what becomes destroyed ?

" Therefore, before running it, download LSPFix so you can repair
the damage from the repair from the DAMAGE OF HAVING INSTALLED
Kazaaa! <whew!> "

That's what the page says. The damage is from the various forms of
crudware that KAZAA installs, not from any tool recommended on the
page. Get your facts straight.
