Magicsearch (WXP-Home)

My IE browser set www.magicsearch.com. i've tried so many ways to delete it including deleting in the registry folder, but still can't. How to solve this?

Seems like you have a browser hijacker on your system. Download and run <a target="_blank" href=http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html>hijackthis</a>. Then copy and past the report to this forum and one of the resident experts will translate for you.

Hi

If you download and run (then reboot) CWShredder this will remove the hijack for you.
