Hi all,
When I use the search feature in IE 6, I am most of the time re directed to
some other search page, and it is not the page I opened from my search.
The correct page will be there for a second or 2, but then I am re directed
to a different search.
It is not the same one all the time, but different ones.
I did run hi jack this, spy bot search and destroy, but still the same , I
also did delete cookies, through IE and also manually, still no luck.
Any other good program I can run.
Thanks, Tony

Beside runnig Hijackthis and Spybot, you should try Ad Aware and
Soyware Terminator. Not every anti-spyware utility will detect
everything. It is best to run a few anti-spyware utilities and try to
"clear" out most of the the problems.

BTW: What search page are you using? I have seen sometimes that a
search engine/page being "sold" to a different company and from then
on, the "new" company takes over.
