    Hello, you could try this link http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-22find-com-hijack/ to see if that helps you.

    Keep in mind that this is not my instructions but me guiding you to an answer. if these instructions cause you more issues it was by your own decision to follow these steps.

    I noticed the instructions tell you to use a 'registry cleaner" i always am against people using these tools if they are not aware of what can happen or how the registry works to begin with. Also if you are not sure of how to follow the steps DO NOT DO THE PROCESS AT ALL and contact a technician to do this for you. If you need more guidance let me know and I can try to help you out later on this evening.

    I have had luck using Tune-Up Utilities as a way to clean my registry. I don't know what's what in that particular area and it has definately cleaned up some maleware issues for me in the past (running in safe-mode with networking).

    Just a thought.

    From what I'm reading it's an intrusive program this tuneup-utilities, from what I can tell as intrusive as an antivirus and just as painful to remove when compared to an AV that broke on uninstall. I see it gets great reviews for what it can do but at the same time a product that makes you suffer to remove it is almost as bad as one that doesn't work at all in my books.

    Perhaps it's just an unlucky group. But I have not tested it myself, I don't have the time for testing software lately or i'd confirm or deny what info I did find.

    Either way registry cleaners are a risky business and unless specifically told to use them,
    then my advice would be stay completely away from them. Too many
    systems I have seen destroyed by them. I would stick to the mainstream helpers like
    malwarebytes
    combofix
    spybot
    in safemode

    wow, thank you all for your help, really thanks!!
    I wasn't able to respond for a couple of days (connection problems), sry for that
    I read so much about this thing

    http://www.americanpendulum.com/en/2...13/22find-com/
    http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-22find-com-redirect
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-22find-com-hijack/

    Those were the pages that were most helpful, thanks for providing them!

    I did not touch a thing in the registry (i did not want more problems) and all seems fine now (well i hope it really is )

    I also downloaded malwarebytes and scanned my computer, but it did not find anything (i guess that's good)

    Thank you all once again, for the help and for the patience.

    Hi, I'm Jenny. Has your problem been solved? If haven't, try to reset your browser to default settings. that will be helpful. Or before starting removal, you can reboot your PC in Safe Mode, which will help you troubleshooting the problem.

    To remove 22find.com homepage,see the guide below.
    Google Chrome
    Click Chrome menu and select Settings.
    Click Set pages.
    Remove unwanted homepage link:http://22find.com/ and click OK button.
    Return to Settings window, click Change link. After a message box pops up, remove the annoying page link and click OK button.

    Mozilla Firefox

    Click Tools menu and select Options.
    In the opened window, remove 22find.com page link.

    Internet Explorer

    Click the gear icon at the upper right corner of IE and select Internet options.
    In the opened window, delete 22find.com homepage link in the box. Then type a desired web address as your new page and click Apply > OK button.

    If you think the steps are difficult to operate, you can use an automatic removal tool to easily and quickly get rid of the browser hijacker.

    Welcome to WinDrivers ElsaJenny.

    If you notice, that post was in 2013 and they did resolve the problem. Thank you for your thorough and informative post though, and I am sure some others will find your information helpful.
    It's not the computers that keep having problems, it's the users!!
