Zestyfind is Driving Me Crazy

MDMom3 · Apr-13-2004

Every time I open my IE, zestyfind.com comes up as my homepage or passionate personals or some other unwanted homepage. Even when I working in MSWord, my IE will open on it's own. I downloaded ADware 6.0 and Spybot and I've ran SEVERAL checks. I've gotten rid of the spyware and stuff, but I can't locate the file(s) for the homepage hijackers. PLEASE HELP!!! Now after I've had the computer on for about an hour, I have to keep rebooting because I'm unable to open any of the software (I have to either reset or push the button to turn off the computer because I can't view the option to shut down. Again...HELP!!!

It sounds like you have adware or spyware. There are several tools you can get for free at downloads.com

Try Ad-aware and spy bot.
