Hijacked Home Page

[Genghis]

My Internet Explorer home page stays at "Easy-Search.biz"
Have gone to tools, into the registry, etc. Each time I
do a scan with the Beta it "finds" and deletes Easy-
search.biz. But, redo the scan and the adware reappears!
I've run norton's 2005, Spysweeper, ad-aware,Spybot. I
have reset my home page with the beta and just afterwards
the page is hijacked again.
My guess is the "easy-Search.biz" resides somewhere
hidden and periodoically rests my page. What can be done?

Try cwshredder.exe which you can get from

http://cwshredder.net/bin/CWShredder.exe

If it asks you if a file is random tell it NO and write
the file name down and come back and ask me.

Also get HijackThis.exe from

http://www.tomcoyote.com/hjt/HijackThis.exe

SCAN your system, SAVE LOG and send me the log (after
running CWShredder) as an attachment or copy and paste the
text here.
