Just another hijack vehicle by the sounds of it

Try running CW Shredder for starters
Its meant to remove any sort of hijack

A guy on said he ran adaware,spybot & CW Shredder and the problem disappeared

If you want to read the discussion just search on
under "search space com"

cheers

Nice theory Magoo but porn sites aren't the only places that use Spyware

Any download has the potential to contain such like

I thought you said you hadn't bought any Porn Vids/Dvds for ages?

Got to say I haven't been hijacked by anything since using a firewall like

Might be worth a shot if your sick of your homepage being taken over

I've a funny feeling at (curtesy of MAGOO)there is a program designed for stopping your homepage from being overtaken
Can't remember the name but

Credit where credits due...I would never have found grc.com in a trillion years without him pointing me in the right direction

and No....He's not paying me

Just as I ask nothing when mentioning you put me onto 'Dribbling with Style'(JJ) which I'm still yet to master
