    My browser has been hijacked by searchexe.com and nothing seems to get rid of it. (I also had a problem with prosearching.com, but that seems to have gone away. Any suggestions for getting rid of searchexe.com? Thanks very much.

    Try booting in Safe Mode and then use add/remove program to remove it. Now run Ad-aware and SpyBot S&D in safe mode too. Clean what they find.

    Try this (it worked for me):

    Internet Options/Security/Restricted Sites add:
    http://*.searchexe.com

    Let me know if it worked for you!
