The Windows HOSTS file and the Registry both contain the info that hijacking scripts use to corrupt web browsers. DON'T play with the registry unless you're awfully sure of yourself. :)

I'd suggest using both Adaware and Spybot, then Hijack This. IF you are using Windows 98 forgo Adaware, as it has been known to corrupt the winsock.

Re-load your hard drive image over a browser hijacking? Would work for those who don't keep their data files on their system partition. Just a friendly reminder to anyone who choses to go this route: Back up your data folders to cd, along with your email folders, bookmarks, favorites, etc. THEN re-load your hard drive.

BTW, Ghost won't work at all in this situation until you have a clean Windows and programs install with no spyware, hijackers, etc. Don't mean to state the obvious but thought I'd point it out anyway. :)
