Jeeez, I thought I was the only one. I just got done fixing mine. Seems to be an issue with coolwebsearch and some Yahoo hijacker... here is a link to the site with free software to fix it. There is a CWshredder and another called spyware scanner which is done by the provider via the internet. Takes a couple minutes and youll be good to go... just did mine and its fine now....

Im telling you without a doubt, go to the link I provided and use the two tools on the bottom of the page. It will fix the issue. I just did it not more then 10 minutes ago... Your problem is the same as mine was. You click the home button or open internet explorer and it directs you to your mail account. Its a CWS hijacker imbedded in your Yahoo tool bar ...

I only use IE for sites that require it. Can't say I have that problem when I do use it though.

If its doing the same ting they are not clean... Go to the link i provided. It will fix your problem as well.. AVG, microsoft Anti spy, Yahoo anti spy, spybot, and many more WILL NOT remove the coolwebsearch hijacker... |
