    Home Page Hijacked
    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.
