    I have Windows XP. My homepage has repeatly been hijacked first from prosearching.com and now look-today.com. Two weeks ago I ran hijack this from this website and I thought I removed everything. Now again it is popping up and the toolbar has appeared. I will run hijack this later to correct. I run scans with McAfee Virus Scan, Ad-aware 6.0 and Spybot Search and Destroy before and after each Internet Use.

    I do not download music from the web. My internet use is basic web searching. Nothing fancy. Can someone please tell me why my machine is repeatedly hijacked and what I have to do to correct it? Will the new security patch from Microsoft fix this problem?

    Thanks in advance. This site is very helpful.

    And also make sure you update your programs. Ad-aware 6.0 has been replaced by Ad-aware SE
