  • Think I used Spyware Guard to get rid of a similar problem:
    http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html

    Once you've fixed it,
    I'd suggest you http://www.getfirefox.com and use that instead of Internet Explorer.
    If you're feeling down, you must be holding a duck.

    start, control panel, system, system restore, untick the box.

    run both, clear the problem, switch it back on after

    Now get Spyware Blaster, also from Javacool. It blocks installation of many problems, though it is Spyware Guard that inhibits the browser hijacks.

    There are also settings in Spybot S&D to prevent browser setting changes.
