    Default Getting rid of searchnu

    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.
