Subject: [PCSOFT] MIXSEARCH hijacked browser homepage

Anyone had a run-in with this search engine\spyware program?  I ran across
it today on a customer's W98\IE 5.5 machine, where it was set as his
homepage.

I changed his homepage to Google, but a few boots later, Mixsearch was back.
I changed it again, and it came back again.

Google found virtually nothing on the net when I searched for 'mixsearch'.
And a Registry 'Find' for the name took so long (on the customer's venerable
P75) that I stopped it.

Any clues would be appreciated.

TIA
