Can anyone tell me what Netster is?
and how do I remove it from my computer?.
It keeps redirecting me to its own site when I search for something on the net.

Thanks NESSIEHUNTER.

    It's most definitely spyware, and Symantec have instructions to remove it here. Or you can download a removal utility here.
    I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

    Once removed remember to turn off system restore and then back on - this way if you need to restore you do not re install Netster - remember that turning off and then back on will wipe previously stored restore points.
