Browser Hijack Blaster

I tried to download the Browser Hijack Blaster software but it said - File Not Found. Any ideas for any alternative software? ???


Thanks

Hi Lexie

Yeah I got the same message when trying to download it, it looks like Browser Hijack Blaster has now been replaced by a newer program called Spyware Guard.

*But* there are a few things to try first before you use that program. First of all, make sure you've been to www.windowsupdate.com and got all the latest critical updates.

Then download and run Spybot. The article on my page here explains how to use it. It's likely that whatever is changing your homepage is spyware, and Spybot should hopefully be able to find it and remove it for you.

If Spybot hasn't fixed your problem, try updating and running a system scan with your virus checker - if you don't have one already use AVG as described in my article here.

Let me know how you get on :)
