Jethomepage is an unethical organization who wants to hijack your 
browser and take you to their site.  They think we will just be 
nice and go along like sheep.

They insert a key into your registry under
localmachine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run
the key name is sp, and the value is
regedit -s c:\Windows\sp.reg
DELETE THIS KEY.
You can also delete sp.reg and sp.dll from your Windows folder.

The effect of their little trick is to reset the registry each time 
you startup or logon, and keep their shabby little search page in 
your face.  The effect of their registry settings, at least in my
case, was to open their rotten little search window as a lefthand
panel in MSIE, then maximize my browser and goof up my toolbars.
Deleting the key stops the program from running upon startup/logon.

You may wish to discuss this with Mr. Nahmias.
