1. You might want to post a HijackThis log for us to analyze. 2. You mentioned "Home Search"; if you really do have the Home Search Assistant (HSA) infection, you'll probably also need to download the About:Buster and HSRemove utilities. Please see my first post in the following thread for …

Does SBC require that you use the PPPoE protocol to connect? If so, check your router's setup/configuration page and make sure that it is set for the correct protocol. Most routers default to using the DHCP protocol, which works for Cable connections, but most DSL providers use PPPoE instead.

Unfortunately, most variants of the Home Search Assistant (HSA) are [i]very[/i] difficult to remove.
