Homepage hijacked by SearchV

Asked by ellvis in Miscellaneous

Tags: , ,

OK,

I'm using IE 6.0 and Windows XP Home.  My homepage has been hijacked to http:searchv.com

I can reset it to google by going to tools>internet options.  Every time I reboot, it has been changed back again.  I have deleted all cookies & temporary files.  I have used the latest versions of "hijack this", "adaware" and "spybot" but every time I reboot the problem comes back.

I want this ****ing thing off my computer, and I want it off YESTERDAY!

The problem is obviously that something runs at startup and alters my registry settings.  "Hijack this" said the following things were running at startrup, but its all gobbledegook to me.  How am I supposed to know which one is causing all the problem!!!!!!!!!

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
