Some piece of $@!@#$% search engine called
'YouFindAll.net' has decided to take over as my homepage.
I have tried to remove everything associated with it from
my system, but it re-instates itself after every start
up. I'v also tried to run 'Spybot', to no avail.

What can I do? I'm sick of changing my homepage setting,
and it's not even a decent search engine - it can't find
anything!

Please help!
 
I have had troubles also with spyware hijacking my startup page! Go to
Spybot, click on Immunize, and be sure you haven't locked your homepage
setting. There is a check box there. Uncheck it and then reset your homepage
in Explorer. Then go back to Spybot and lock the homepage again!

I hope this helps.
