A program has stolen my Home Page Default setting
SearchDot.Net is now the home page which comes up
everytime I log on. I have typed in Google.com and set it
as default, however everytime I reboot the blasted program
resets it to SearchDot.Net.

Where can I find this in the registry and kill it??

Looks like a new varient of the Coolwebsearch browser hijacker gang.

the CWShredder.EXE program.

It has been found by Hijack This in the SpywareInfo forum.
