I have a problem and I hope that someone can help. When I open IE, v6.0, I am brought to a webpage called ez-finder.com, with a few pop ups. I check the homepage and it says www.iwantsearch.com. Whenever I try to change it, it always defaults back to this. This is very annoying and I have no idea what may have been installed. My 2 year old was found clicking away with the mouse.
I have run a current virus scan, no viruses found. I have cleaned my cookies, didn't fix the problem. When I go to windows/downloaded files, I find a Searchbar, with Active X which was installed yesterday, when the computer was not in use. I'm not able to delete this Searchbar, as it says I have to close programs and restart windows. I've done this, with no luck.
Any help which could be offerred would be greatly appreciated.
Make a special folder to download it to. Set it to "Scan" and then to create its "Log". This will be long, but copy all of it into Notepad and post it to be checked.
