hi
recently i havent been able to access my email because when ever i logged onto it, it would go straight to a search engine. this search engine also automatically puts itself as my homepage no matter how many times i try to change it to my original homepage.
does anyone know how to get rid of this stupid website?
cheers

I bet it is call isearch.

Go to the isearch home page. At this point just open your browser it will do it for you. POS#$#$%#$ program. Sorry took me like 3 hours to figure out how to get rid of the darn thing just last night. Go the FAQ section on the page that loads and look for unistall. Use the first choice available it should be an automatic option. BAM 10 seconds its gone.

Run an Anti Virus scan, and a spyware scan as discusses here http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6829

Then...

In Internet Explorer

Go to Tools > Internet options > General

Change your homepage back to whatever you want
