Hi everyone,
My IE home page is hijacked by oneclicksearch.com. Sometimes IE also quits itself.

Below is the new HJT log for scrutiny and advice. I'd appreciate help from any one, please

Hi spyda_D,

Perhaps our posts were overlooked. These guys are breaking their backs trying to solve the problems WE create. May be they're busy and will come to us at an appropriate time. In the meantime you can visit neoplanet.co.uk and post your problem there after registering. I got great help and got rid of my probs.

Hi alsocom, Thanks for your concern and offer. Yes, my problem is solved FOR NOW. But stupid people like me keep getting into trouble by SURFING PLACES WHERE NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO GO. I sure will get into some trouble soon and might need your help. You guys are great. My compliments to this site and the people running it. dellfan
