Ced 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 OK, I've shot down a crapload of spyware via a tag team of Spybot S&D and Ad Aware. Yet in my Internet Options screen, no matter how many times I try to change it, something's constantly restoring my default home page to "http://greatsearch.biz/" Before I finally give in and abandon IE for Opera, does anybody know what I can possibly kill in a final attempt regain control of my IE default home page?

Ced 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 I typically hold onto things for a day to make sure I didn't accidentally delete something useful before flushing out the quarantines. I'd also like to say for the record that Spybot S&D thoroughly owns AdAware in terms of spyware detection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
