How do I get rid of quickmetasearch? After using homepage on internet options, it returns. I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. Thanks, Don

Seems to be a trojan-virus:
Troj/Dedler-A

I read sth. about deleting smrss.exe.
Some Registry keys could cause the Trojaner to reinstall every reebot:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ActiveXUpdate
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MicrosoftOEM
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\SoundControl
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OfficeGuardUI

Kind regards from Cologne,
