I place this message earlier but it apparently got lost or
deleted. I have a situation where an unauthorized search
engine "Global Finder" now appears. I cannot get rid of
it by using Customize. I also noted that two unfamiliar
files appear in Temp Internet folder, one for Global
finder domain, the second for "doubleclick". I've already
tried one download to correct problem to no avail. Help!
 
I have been experiencing the same problem for about a week. I instaled
and ran McAfee for the first time and found that it had been infected
by the SoBig virus. Maybe it is related? I was able to reset my home
page to another web site, but I still experience very, very strange
behavior while using explorer.

For example, I am unable to reach web pages with a PHP scripting on
them. Before I ran McAfee, I would be redirected to the Global-Finder
search engine whe I tried to reach such sites. Now I just get a 404
error.
