    Just go into the "Tempoary Internet Files" in Internet Options-Broswer history and click "view files" and view files again and look for www.trubosearch101.com's HTML file and it should have a blank homepage after you have restared your broswer and set your qwn homepage again and it won't go back to the old homepage. Hope It Helps.

    Thank you for your help. Back then, I used HIJACKTHIS and posted the log to http://www.hijackthis.de/ and it told me which files to get rid of, I didn't know what to do at the time. I now use spybot and kaspersky in addition to ad-aware so I hope that will not come back again. Thanks for your help.

    Hi, when this happened to me, I watched this you tube video,
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQwwuZe92c0&feature=related

    After downloading HIJACKTHIS at http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download

    I went to http://www.hijackthis.de/ as the video tells you, after you copy and paste the log file, analyze it, and it tells you which ones are bad, okay, and what you should to to each one by reading what the description says on the right side of the analyzed log. This is what I did to get rid of it, I also use Spybot http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html, and run HIJACK this at least once per day. Hope this helps.
