    Hi pple,
    I've been infected by the 'searchmiracle' bug; everytime i go to certain websites, searchmiracle.com loads instead of the designated website. One example (for me) is cmfaq.com. I have ran Ad-aware, spybotSD, spysweeper and spywareblaster but the nifty Ba$T&^D remains in my system. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you
    (I have downlaoded hijackthis, so if my logfile is required, i am ready to post it)
