possible browser hijack

hi guys, i'm new to this forum, and apologize if i'm leaving out anything. i discovered a couple of days ago that my msn messenger could no longer access the internet. shortly after i was unable to access myspace or neopets. i'm finding there are more and more websites i can't access everyday. i normally use firefox for my browser, but i decided to see if i could get on with IE. that's when i noticed that my search page had been changed to myway.com. i've tried changing it back, but have been unable to. any help on this would be appreciated.

Try running AD-Aware SE
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadge...f695220993fc0f
And Spybot search and destroy
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadge...ff8c4459556118

That should find the culprit.

Hi and welcome to TSF.

Please follow the 5 Steps link in my signature below and then post a HijackThis Log in the appropriate forum.
