Ron - I don't have time to read all your responses and by now, your problem may be
fixed. However, for future reference as well as for other people's benefit, I ran
CWShredder to remove the hijack progtram, and then ran Spybot to remove any/all AdWare
and Spyware from my hard drive. Both programs are freeware so there's no cost
to you. CWShredder can be downloaded at:
http://www.soft32.com/download_19014.html
Spybot can be downloaded at:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/spybot.html
You should also run Spybot after every internet session. This keeps your hard drive
and registry clean of those annoying and potentially dangerous AdWare/Spyware intrusions.
Good luck!
Eric
