re: How do I get rid of a "POSSIBLE BROWSER HIJACK ATTEMPT" Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 6:12 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Carl S. (426 messages posted) That "icanfindit.net" is one of the identified CoolWebSearch hijack pages. Follow the advice of "Little Furnace's" post and get the CWS Shredder tool, update it and run it. Close all browser programs first, run the tool. Delete all your temporary internet files including offline content, reboot, and run the tool again. Hopefully that will remove it. Good luck !!
