    Well I recently installed Mcafee security service, and it seemed afterwards my homepage was hijacked to netspry.com. Now when i click hyperlinks and what not instead of going to the hyperlink it opens a window with the destination link, then sends me back to netspry.com. When i open a new IE window it also goes to netspry no matter how many times i reset the homepage.

    I updated my windows up to SP2 and got as much spyware software as i could. I turned off system restores and used Crap Cleaner and then ran everything. Mcafee virus scans turn up nothing, Nortan anti virus scans turn up nothing, adaware scans turn up nothing, and spybot search and destroy scans turn up nothing. Any help i'd be gratefull for. I also searched for a winpage.dll put didn't find one.
