I recently got some 'virus' or whatever it is which means now when I search for something in IE it goes directly to this rubbish site (image below).

Its really annoying. I want is as default going directly to MSN search :rolleyes:

Also, if there is a page cannot be displayed, it takes me to this site too :D

Can anybody rid me of this junk and go back to defaults :)

Would appreciate some help :D

When you are done with the two suggested programs you can change your home page to MSN Search.

In Internet Explorer, Tools > Internet Options. Type http://www.search.msn.com
Click Ok.
Close IE and open once more. Some people using AOL have to close AOL and reboot the PC.

Your Internet Options applet will look similar to this one ...

See the Temporary Internet Files area of the Internet Options applet. To be on the safe side select the two buttons Delete Cookies and Delete Files once in a while to keep things tidy.

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks :rolleyes:

Spyware prog found out what it was and got rid.

A small little program had found its way through IE through a security hole apparently, which allowed programs to install and execute without giving me any warnings or options to download or not.

Anyway, MSN search is back.

Thanks again :) :rolleyes: :D :D :D :rolleyes:
