We have an unwanted home page setting (start-space.com)
and cannot get rid of it no matter what we try. Now, when
we open IE other, very much, unwanted sites come up.
Anyone have any ideas how to stop this. We've put the
sites on the restrices list and we have a fire wall.
 
Dan,
"start-space.com" = coolwebsearch trojan
