    I was wondering if anyone could help me here, my homepage has suddenly changed to http://www.websearch.net I tried to get rid of it first just by changing it back to my redular homepage. that worked fine until i logged off the net and went back on a while later and it was back. so then i tried deleting all my temp internet files, which did nothing.
    this site just appears in my internet options menu as about:blank, what i want to know is is this some sort of a virus or what because i cant find any way of getting rid of it and theres no trace of it on my computer.
    the site has no contact addresses or anything and seems a bit dodgy.

    google two programs called

    spybot

    ad-aware


    download them both and run them

    it will get rid of it

    Do the above plus do the free online scanner here
    Also check your msconfig on startup for suspect processes.

    look for a prog called hijack this ! too, seems to pick up on some browser hijacks that adaware or spybot s&d might not, is there an 'svchost - network services' running in your processes, you'll probably have to do some dicking around with that, quite stubborn
    google up on it
    then use a browser other than internet explorer

    Try changing from IE to mozilla etc. too.
    Have a look at the stickies for links to progs.
