I have used adaware and spybot to try and remove this pest from my computer but it comes right back with a restart. Both Adaware and spybot do their thing and remove this browser hijacker until I restart. Where else might I look to locate what keeps putting this up? I have checked startup folders and all seems normal.

Have you run an AV scan? The other option I can think of would be Start>Run>Regedit>Edit>Find>Searchchv and see what comes up. If it does indeed find any keys relating to it, delete them and restart.

Did you update the definitions for spybot?

Here is a list of things in the reg you need to fix

hijack this can be got here

Thanks both of you for your reply. Shamus, I had already tried the delete reg keys but the link from Noo-Noo pointed out I had missed the MSUPDATER! And yes Noo-Noo I was using the latest spybot but it didn't fix the reboot install.

So all is well now. Can someone tell me where I picked this up...I am usually very careful.
