google being my friend I used it to look up Hijack This!, a great removal tool for browser hijacks. Turned up this dandy page: http://hjt.wizardsofwebsites.com/ |

it probably went right through IE. I would use Hijack This! to remove the hijacker (find and destroy) - finding out what the thing is called would help - then research it in the Internet. |

I had a similar problem awhile back at home (although it was bringing up a search engine with a dozen popups) as the home page. HijackThis! found several of the problems, but not all unfortunately. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, you can go through and edit the registry yourself (not quite as daunting as everyone makes it out to be, as long as you're paying attention and are careful). |

I suppose it's not possible to switch to some Unix variant? I find in public environments, Unix is less work to administer and fix such problems (and is also a bit more idiot-proof, since the idiots get scared at the thought of a command-line). |
