Post #1
CLRSRCH shows up in my registry keys, no matter how many times i delete it. Along w/ that, my homepage is changed to http://mypoisk.com/index.htm. i've changed it numerous times, but each time i restart my computer, it's back. i just tried running HijackThis to get rid of all references to "mypiosk," but when i restarted it was back.

here's my logfile, can anybody help?

Dromedary, One of the experts will get to your log as soon as they possibly can. In the meantime, you can help by getting prepared. Right now, you have HijackThis on your computer's Desktop and it needs to be moved to its own folder. Please create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT. You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select "New" then "Folder" and name it HJT. Unzip HijackThis into the new folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fix checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary. Delete the old copy of HJT please. Thanks, NonSuch
