You don't need to anything, but do what I've stated below. I promise it worked for me and it's working for other people
I tried to put it all in very simplistic terms for people that aren't that computer savvy to understand. It was quite a challenge for me to say the least. If I forgot something please let me know Start your computer and push "F8" vigorously till you come to a black screen. At the top of the black screen you'll see "Safe mode", using your arrows scroll up, highlight it and hit "enter". This will take you to a screen that will allow you to access your desktop. Wait till your desktop appears. Go to start menu...then click "search"...then click "files and folders in C Drive"...then search for "ioctrl.dll"...right click on "ioctrl.dll" and at the bottom you'll see "rename"...rename it to "ioctrl.old"...then restart your computer in normal mode and it shouldn't show up in the icon tray. Using the same process to search for a file as I stated above from the start menu, find the file "ioctrl.old"...right click it and hit delete...it should take a short trip to your recycle bin...now delete it from there also...nice huh...it works
The file responsible for taking you to http://www.updateyoursystem.com instead of your homepage is c:\windows\system32\hpA75B.tmp. This file was put on your system by the good ole SpyAxe folks. I was having the same problem until I figured out that this file was causing this. Delete this file and this problem will stop.
It would also probably be a good idea to delete anything in "System32" that has shown up there since the whole problem started...all this really isn't that diffucult...GOOD LUCK!!
PS >> Instead of the file "ioctrl.dll", you might find "svchosts.dll", just rename the "dll" part to "old" it should work for either one.
