"The address that keeps popping up as my home page is
"youfindall.net/344012" Please help! "
Above is the email message one of our customers sent to our help line. A
phone call to the man revealed that his Internet access is hijacked by a
certain website. His default IE homepage was wiped out and replaced by
"youfindall.net/344012". The following actions were taken (given to man on
phone) and proved useless:
1. Reconfigure his Internet Properties to remove the above address and
re-enter his default webpage.
2. After rebooting and above step didn't work, went back to Internet
Properties and changed default to "Use Blank."
3. Then accessed Registry and did a search (Find) for the above address.
Found one entry, deleted it. Win.ini showed no entry.
4. Closed Registry and went to My Computer and searched directories for
above address.

Emie,
Are you sure your customer has found out all of Keys, Values and Data in the
Registry, where the address is located. I doubt that. When you are doing a
search in the Registry just remember to check all the check boxes (keys,
values and data). About 2 weeks ago I experienced absolutely the same
problem as your customer. I also did a search in the Registry and found out
the address, but not only one entry found as you said, I found about 3 or 4.
After I have them deleted and set my homepage to About Blank every think is
OK now.
So my suggestion is that let your customer do a search again if he/she
didn't check all of the check boxes. Hope this help.
