Feckin Spyware fecked my PC!!!
It has caused the homepage to stay as a page of search and popups. No matter what prog i use i cant get rid of it. If i change it to say www.google.co.uk it changes back.
Any way to fix it??

I have used ad-aware, spybot, spyblocs, spyblocker & Zero Spyware & Adware Remover Lite 1.0.
Does that help?

Do a search for CWSHREDDER..That is the one you want to get rid of the homepage..
I tried many different virus removers and not one found it,only my norton av found it but could not remove it.Finally someone on here suggested cwshredder and that did the job..

I have a similar problem. Homepage keeps going back to "searchspace" no matter how many times I change it back to google.
Will try CWSHREDDER as suggested and hopefully it will sort my problem out.
