    I tried everything, Norton...Adware...Spy Ware..and I cannot get rid of my home page changing to a home search assistant. I have even tried the down load HS Remove....Home Page still changes to a search assistant. Does anyone have an idea how I can correct this? Thanks -John

    I had the same problem. It was a major pain to get rid of. I downloaded Hijackthis and that took care of the homepage thing. Here is a thread from another site that helped me get rid of it. Just go down the line and try each thing.

    Best of luck to you. I know how annoying it can be.
