OneClickSearches Become Default Homepage 2

[FCF]

My PC has been infected by some spyware and popup programs i.e MSOLE32, POPUPER, SHNLOG. I have deleted most of them but, I still could not take away the OneClickSearches webpage as the default homepage for the Internet Explorer.

I appreciate that some could help me on this.

1) Are you disabling system restore, if running XP or ME?

2) What removal tools are you currently utilizing?

Tired of waiting for an answer? Try asking better questions. See: faq222-2244
