    Default Will Spybot remove mysearch

    Having trouble with a "my search results" page continually loading itself as my home page despite repeated efforts to rectify the problem thru internet options and working the toolbar options. Have loaded Spybot but can't seem to get the problem fixed. Is there any way I can get rid of this pest thru Spy bot or other ways thanx. Pulling my hair out here.

    Hi Zenobia...I use Google as my home page. Another search engine called "My search results" has hijacked my home page. When I go to Internet options and restore Google as my home page, "My search" hijacks it again. On the toolbar list for search engines, I have ticked the place where it says for no other toolbar to change home page but it still does it.

    I cannot find the program My Search in my program folders on the control panel so I can;t delete it.

    I loaded SPY BOT but after a scan (couple of times) it has failed to detect the MY SEARCH pest that has loaded itself onto my computer. Does that help any..thanx for your interest..
