"Global Finder" Home Page Start-up Problem
 

For some reason, my computer sets "global finder" as its home page when I
would prefer to use "google".

How do I get rid of this problem?

If you cannot set your home page in internet options (greyed out), I could
send you a key to fix it. (submit your real emailaddress please, unless it
is Trang@shaw.ca ? If it is, you will propably get numerous unsollicited
emails offering viagra, breast enlargement and loads of $$ from Kabila's
cousin).

I can set my home page to Google in "Internet Options"/ "Use Current"....but
not for long. This Global Finder overrules my preferences and upon start-up
I find myself facing this unwanted page. And yes I also receive annoying
Viagra, Breast Enlargement and Dollar Scam advertisements.

Can you post a fix?

Yes, it's a hi-jacker. Have a look at this page:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/cws/
particularly the links at the bottom.
You should have AdAware and Spybot S&D as part of your regular
maintenance, anyway; and CWShredder seems to be recommended particularly
for this infection (although I've not used it).
