Everytime I reboot my computer and click the internet explorer button, my home page opens to adfreesearch.com. I go to internet options and change it back to yahoo.com but everytime I reboot it reverts back. Is there a way I can fix this? Thanks.

Jump to PostSounds like you have some spyware. Download Ad-aware, scan the comp and remove them.
The software is at www.lavasoftusa.com
Jump to PostNormally try to run 2 different spyware programs spybot( I think that is the name out of Germany) and adaware. the 2 of them will clean things up.
Jump to PostYeah, I'd say Spybot S&D or adaware, or maybe both...
these two programs alone will not remove a CoolWebSearch Infection,you will need to run CWShredder,and then Spybot and Ad-Aware .
