12. If you have a Browser Hijacker...
...and it sounds like you do, neither Ad-Aware nor Spybot Search & Destroy may find it. Whoever burns that CD for you, get them to get you a copy of HijackThis (all three programs can be found through www.download.com).

HijackThis will produce a log which can then be posted (by the same generous friend who's burning the CD for you) at http://www.spywareeliminator.com/forum/
(Registration and login required -- but it's free and they KNOW what're doing)

If you take it that far, be sure not to do Anything until those knowledgeable folk tell you what to remove and how. Messing with the registry (which is what nearly all browser hijackers do, so you need to get in there and UNdo it) is dangerous work.

Good luck!
