My IE home page is redirected automatically

[Claude Trottier]

something

My IE home page is always redirected to the "about:blank" (also call "Search
for..") web page.

If I change it from IE set-up, after few minutes it always sets back to
"about:blank".

I went in my register to change the keys but nothing work. I never been able
to kill this auto set-up of my EI home page.

It is quite a pain. I will appreciate if someone can point me a way to get
rid of this problem.

Thanks,


Claude

Check this page for removal instructions:

You may want to consider using a more secure web browser, such as Firefox.

It's the CoolWebSearch hijacker. Nasty.

As the merijn site seems to be down now, get a copy of the shredder at
