Hi, since a few days ago, when I open internet explorer, the best-search.us site apears, even if I modify the start page on Internet Properties.
I´ve run spybot, and I also have deleted all the cookies in that respective folder, I even went to control panel to see if there was any installed software that might be causin this, but I found nothing that look suspicius (nothind that I was not aware to have installed),
so, what do you think it could be?, what can I do?

worldpease, you definiately have a spyware case on your hands. Make sure to ALWAYS update Spybot before scanning to have the latest definitions. Try downloading Ad-Aware and use it in conjunction with Spybot, the two of them make a great team. Also, like IKE said, try using Hijackthis, although I have never used it, i hear it's a great program for removing stuff like this.

Yea, as ¨I K E¨ said, I used it and it seems to have done the trick,
recently, when I run a scan with spybot, and I select the option to fix the problems, it frozes. I will try to download an updated vertion.
Thank you everybody.

... and about ¨educating the parents¨, yea, That´s very true. What would they be without us. ...lol.
