Well, looks like I caught something that keeps re-setting my home page, and is inserting web pages in my favorites. I look under My CPU in the HD, to find a new icon created called dllpt. It seems to be the problem, only thing is, I can't delete it.

Anyone know what I can do? Thanks!

Windows XP, Noron Ani-Virus

The site that keeps poping up is:

http://your-searcher.com/index.htm

They have this on the site to fix the bug:

http://your-searcher.com/Uninstall.exe

It works, but I deleted the DL and now it's still re-writing my homepage!

AVG is very good you could also try to run a spybot search and destroy

Read my sig section about Spy Ware.

Download Ad Aware and SpyBot. Can't find them? Do a google search. Simple as that.

I think having an anti-spyware program is as important as an anti-virus solution these days. Spybot lets you immunize your system and it will block about 99% of all spyware. The included plug-in, tea-time, is like autoprotect for spyware. Fantastic program and I really can't recommend it enough. First thing you need to do is clean that system, then get spybot installed and immunize!

Verb,

Norton is not that great of an anti-virus to use. If your interested, I can get you a copy of MCafee Pro for free if you want it.
