    Hi Jimmy88:
    You can start by downloading a Copy of HiJack this;
    http://majorgeeks.com/HijackThis_d3155.html

    Install in it's own directory,ie not in a temp directory, or you won't beable to save backup files.

    Run scan and save a file.Post the file with the Hijack this log back to this list for the pros to look at

    jimmy88,
    What I suggest you open internet expl and click on tools then select internet option. On the internet option select the tab general and then change your homepage from there. Finally do a re-boot.
