Thankyou I will try that. I already have adaware running, but I did not try it through safe mode. What is wierd is this browser hijacker is an MSN search engine site. I use pop up stopper all the time, and never allow it to be shut off. I abhore clicking on any popup ads. Who knows how this virus snuck into my system. Thanks for the help! -Kerry
