Netseachsoft.com keeps seting itself as my home page and I don't want it.
From looking at your Help site I think you are the best people to help. I am internet ignorant, have just aquired broad-band and have no idea how to protect my computer.
Have downloaded and run SPYBOT search and destroy and also free edition of AVG Antivirus and run them but this netsearchsoft thing is still there. Please help.
I think this is my log
