I keep my homepage set to my.yahoo.com to be able to easily access my e-mail. As of recently, I am having an issue with a site called searchdot.net setting itself as my homepage every time I turn my pc on. How can I stop this? Can anyone help me? Thank you, Jeff

Run HT again and check the following items. Doublecheck so as to be sure not to miss one.
Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT 'fix checked'.

You Must restart your computer when you're done.

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [lar] C:\LLASS.EXE
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Msoffice] C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\msoffice.hta

After restarting delete the following:
C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\msoffice.hta
C:\LLASS.EXE

Before deleting C:\LLASS.EXE could you send me a zipped copy to analyze? You can email it here: tbeck41@adelphia.net
