That's referring to the Xupiter homepage hijacker. To get rid of it....
Download and run SpyBot Search and Destroy:
SpyBot S&D
It looks for spyware, but also targets dialers, keyloggers and much more, and it's
freeware. After installing, go to the Online tab, and search for and install all
updates.
Next, go to the Settings tab > File Sets, and uncheck 'System Internals' and 'Tracks.'
You can always experiment with them later on. Just scan for the spybots for now.
After closing your browser, run the scan, then click 'Check All', and have SpyBot
remove all it finds.
Note: SSD will sometimes not be able to remove all active components on the first
'fix'. You will then get a dialog asking you to run SSD at next start. Click yes
and reboot. SSD will then come up before the system puts these components 'in use'.
You will then be able to 'fix' everything.
Then check in these keys and remove these restrictions, if there. First choose Registry
on the toolbar - Export registry file - in the named box type: backup. This will
export the file to your desktop. Be careful not to remove or change anything else!
To reclaim your Internet settings option, open Start>Run and type: regedit in the
box. OK. Navigate through the sub folders of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer
and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\branch. Look in the right hand pane for these values;
Restricted
Control Panel
If you have either, right click them and delete. Next, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\POLICES\MICROSOFT\INTERNET
EXPLORER\RESTRICTIONS. If you find a value called NoBrowserOptions, delete it.
Save and exit. Reboot for changes to take effect.
