Suzanne,
Though Ad Aware is a pretty good program it doesn't get the really tough
stuff. I highly recommend Spy Sweeper from www.webroot. It is fairly
useable with JAWS. They have a 15 day trial that is fully functional and
the subscription is $29.95 for the first two years. It comes highly
recommended by Kim Komando and others. Even if you don't want to buy it I
would try it to see if it gets rid of the stuff you have. It sounds like
you may have what is called a browser hijacker.
Thanks,
Jim Ellsworth

Hi,
Starting a few days ago AltaVista has been taking over web pages. It either
hangs there for a while (on dialup) and then moves on to the web site I
asked for, or
will just go there and stop and I have to try again. I eventually get to
where I'm going, but always through this AltaVista thing. Google is still
set
as my home page, yet when I launch IE from the desktop it will go to
AltaVista most times, and sometimes on to Google. Does anyone know where
this came
from and how I get rid of it? I ran adaware but that didn't help.
Suzanne
