I downloaded a search engine program by mistake and
everytime I click on Start, then Search, I fail to find
the files to remove them. I feel that it is hiding on my
harddrive. I want MSN to be my homepage, not "Searchalot".
Any suggestions? I always come up with "0" results when I
search for the files.

Sincerely,
Eileena

This is a hijacker and is the same thing as
spyware\adware. These people are very clever and the
install is frequently hidden in the registry as a bunch of
numbers and such. You won't be able to find it yourself.
Thank heavens there is a good and free program called
SpyBot Search and Destroy. It has wizards for the beginner
and advanced mode for the expert or advanced user. Find it
here http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?
lang=en&page=download Keep this program on your desktop
and use it weekly to clean out spyware\adware. I recommend
you learn to use the advanced features by reading or
e:mail me for help. The advanced features dig deeper and
clean out more. Keep smiling.
