I've somehow picked up a bug that even Spybot won't kill. It hijacks your home page and sends it to www.searchnu.com, which is some outfit from Cyprus.

If I change my home page, it just changes back to searchnu. When you open a browser window, it takes you to a version of the same webpage, that has been stored on my hard drive (there is no URL on this version).

I've run a full Spybot scan to get rid of the bug, no luck.

Does anyone have a recommendation.

Hello bradcombs,

Please start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22 and a volunteer analyst will advise when available. :)

First see that forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide DDS logs, which are the logs used in the preliminary analysis.
