I've got the homepage changing problem...it seems that every few hours IE resets itself to "www.cool-search.net"- a completely worthless search engine that has no value at all. I've tried setting it to any page I visit frequently, and it always goes right back...I even tried deleting the history list, and it still does it. What a surprise to find something very similar on that PestPatrol page.

And a few days ago I found some infected files on my C drive(very subtily named "trojan.exe" :rolleyes: )...deleted immediately, of course, but what a pain in the ass- it took my virus scanner the better part of two hours to sift through all the crap on both my HD's to find just three files(to give a little comparison, I have about 1.5 million files on both HD's combined)

Wish people would find a better way of showing off their crap than ramming it down your throat with these little forced download popups.
