    Good Day,

    I have tried numerous attempts with Hijack this to eliminate this hijacker with no success. It removes the appropriate registry entries when ticked, but they re-appear after reboot. Also have tried to manually remove registry entries with no success.

    Please help!! HJT log is below:

    You must also find the searchbar.html file (probably in c:\windows) and delete it too or the problem will come back. Also after doing all the above. Reset your web settings
    1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools -> Internet Options.
    2. Click the Programs tab -> Reset Web Settings.
