Posting on behalf of BCA...

He can't change the home page and also not able to look elsewhere on the net - problem is "all-find.org" stuck as the homepage.

Spybot, adaware, norton antivirus can't make a dent in it and clearing history, cookies, temp files etc don't help at all.

Any ideas??

Cheers,

Graham

I suspect he needs to run Hijack This www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip and then give the output to somebody who knows what it all means (i.e. not me). There are various forums where you can get help interpreting the results.

Could be this horrible little Trojan Xrendor

It resets your browser homepage and searches.
Microsoft antispyware found this on my pc where ad-aware and spybot didnt.

Boot up in Safe Mode then run Adaware and Spybot.
