Okay I have a problem with my internet, everytime I log on it goes to Advanced search technology (res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776) as my home page. I tried deleting the .dll file and it worked until I logd onto the net again. Everytime I type something into google the page pops up and searches aswell but a load of bull shit money grabbing results come up. When I reset my internet options it doesn't come up until I visit google. Norton's anti-virus can't detect it so should I just re-install windows oe internet explorer?

It's going to be a right bollox to do that so can any smart person please help me and my computer?

Och Aye !: ]-~


Tools (on I.E explorer) > Internet Options > change homepage to something like www.google.com

Should work !!

You might wanna have a read up on clean up progs like Ad-Aware etc...

I suggest you use AdsGone:
http://www.adsgone.com

Very powerful, I use it myself along with AdAware Pro:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

The Pro version provides realtime scanning via AdWatch

Also a personal Firewall, cookie scanner, and SpyBot are good ideas.

An ABSOLUTE MUST is GOOD AntiVirus S/W...

Have Fun...
