Hello !
Protectstand.com has hijacked my homepage. I ran my antivirus scan, it quarantined a trojan virus and I deleted it. I also ran my spyware scan, it found several and I deleted them all. I rebooted my computer, but the homepage is still "protectstand.com".
Anyone have any solutions??
Thanks so much !
:)

You should have a pro setup your web server firewall, it looks likes you need help ;)

Try searching Google on protectstand.com, there are several hits, one should help with removal.

Thanks Scott,
I have googled and found several suggestions - but I am leary of downloading anti spyware programs. I am going to try "Hijackthis" this evening. Obviously my firewall/virus protection software hasn't worked very well.

I have used Hijackthis many times and it really works well. Gl with finding out how to fix it.
