McAfee is turning up 3 instances of a Trojan VBS/Psyme

Maybe you could try Pest Patrol?

It's not a horrable Trojan - Norton would have caught it IF you had updated recently.

One thing to do is change your home page BACK.

have you tried adaware? - Lavasoft product.

Just want to second the adaware solution. I also had the "My Search Bar," tried for two months to remove it, etc. Finally, two different people recommended adaware. It works. lebowski

thank you guys...used adaware and took care of the problem.
Unreal. They literally hijack your computer. What an invasion of privacy and a total pain in the ass too.

There's practically a war going on for control of the computer you think you own. The average computer user is totally unequipped to deal with it. Almost every house my friend the chess teacher goes to windows up paying him to do computer work as well, and most of it is spyware/virus removal.

Download and run Ad Aware first. Remember to run the auto update to get the latest reference files. Then clean the rest up with Hijack This.

Oops, too late.
