I need help, i need a program to get rid of a browser hyjack. I have tried Spybot search and destroy and ad-aware, but they didnt work. For some reason when i go to certain sites it redirects to google in the middle of it.

My, that is irritating isn't it?
I would recommend SpySweeper over both Ad Aware and SpyBot.
Nab the bastard that got 'ya and reset your home page to whatever you like.
Then get WinPatrol which has a feature which will lock your browser and prevent hijackings (among other things).

Thnaks for the help i'll try that out.
It seems to be hyjacking .tk sites, the ones that are not paying, just using it to redirect the URL.
it may be the .tk url service is down, and sometimes when ie finds a dead page it searches, so maybe ur search is set to google, or somethin like that

You may be right. I was trying to goto matrixtalk.tk, the front page comes up. Then when i sign in i get a google error. Same goes for hsaleem.tk but i dont even get the front page. :angry:
