Title: My Homepage Has Been Hi Jacked!!
Post by: mudthirsty on August 10, 2004, 11:48:23 AM

This is what I read everytime I open up a new IE.  It is also followed up by a pop up every two minutes reading "Only The Best".  I have ran HiJack This, and Ad-Aware 6 many times.

Try running the newest version of AdAware (Adaware SE).

Well, my old ad-aware found 5 items, and this new one found 120.  So if defenetly works better.  So, after the scan, I opened up IE properties, and noticed that the homepage was automatically set to msn.com.  So it worked? Nope, it didnt.  I restarted the computer, and opened up IE, and the damn home search page opened up.  The address always starts out as res://.  What the heck is that anyway?

Thanks anyways

I have finally fixed this problem.

If anyone else has the "ONLY THE BEST" hijacker, follow this link to get rid of it.
