Hi Guys,
could do with some help please. Somehow my homepage has been taken over by
a commercial search page, http://approvedlinks.com which shows up in the
internet options homepage selection address box, but when I open IE6 it
directs me to a another unwanted page called http://superspider.com . Is
there anyway I can permanently get rid of it, I change to my homepage, but
everytime I open IE6 up it keeps redirecting me to the same unwanted page.
Is there a program I can install to stop it in the future. I rund Ad Adware
but this does not get it. Much appreciate any help
Thanks
Bob H

He said that he's used Ad-Aware already. There could be a fix here

Whether using AdAware or SpyBot, getting their updates is
also necessary. AdAware 6 is out and SpyBot 1.2, both have
built-in updaters.
