RE; Search engine took control of my broswer

[Nelson May]

There is a search engine called lucky search.net, and it
is stuck as my start page when i open IE. I have reset my
options "use Current" and the clicked the apply key to no
avail. I feel thay have taken contol of my browser and
Lord knows what they are doing to my network. I have
Norton Firewall, so they shouldn't get in. I am assume the
got code in while I was on the web.

I know this is illegal and there is no way to contact
them. Can anyone help or can I get a District Attourney to
go after them. I hate when people do this. this is Pravacy
invasion.

Any sugestions on where to pull out the code? I have
cleared all my temp internet files and cookies and this
still happens every day.

You need to install and run anti-spyware software. I use Ad-Aware from
Lavasoft. It's free.
