I have Windows XP and my precocious teenagers downloaded KaZaA along with all their spyware. My problem is this; now when they try to access INternet Explorer, instead of getting the home page (google) they get this:
C:\WINDOWS\eeiecrgrststvst.htm#http://www.google.com/
There is no way to get IE to change from this and it suddenly opens about 66 windows before XP shuts it down.
I have tried downloading several patches with no help.
Any ideas?
Download a program such as Adaware to remove spyware off of your machine.
I have already downloaded Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy to no avail.
I'm afraid I may have to reinstall IE 6.
have you just tried reseting the home page?
right click on your IE icon and click on properties first thing that should popup is a home page settin :)
or go to C:\WINDOWS\eeiecrgrststvst.htm
and delete that file, or i can suggest opening it, and editing it, just delete everything inside of the .htm and hit save
I would and do use hijack this to remove the browser hijacker a little tricky to use at first but ot works .
get it here and you also might want to get kazaa be gone and rune it and then get kazaa lite

kazaa lite

id suggest straying away from Kazaa till this whole RIAA thing cools down
I downloaded Hijack This and kKaZaABGONE and deleted the C:\WINDOWS\eeiecrgrststvst.htm file.
Now all I get is "Cannot find server" and "Page cannot be displayed".
I have no doubt that my IE is clean as a whistle but I can't figure out why I can't get it to find the server!
