Bro, I'm certified with Microsoft, and I still won't mess with the registry,,,take it from me and Tucker(Class,,,lol). Watch what ya do.
My advice,,,use BPS Spyware remover. Its cheap and works great. I believe that if you somehow have a previous version(cough,,,P2P,,cough) and use the update button. This will take you to the website where you can upgrade for $9.99!

Thanks peoples, I got rid of everything except this one thing that keep hijacking my homepage. I been online looking at the solution but they kept telling me to download more and more stuff. I'd already install spybot, microsoft anti-spyware and a third one of which I can't remember the name now because I restored my system to a earlier date. So I ended up not having to mess around with my registry, but I am reinstally those 2 programs I can remember.

Oh but yet Another problem. Before I did my system restore, I unistalled download accelerator 5.3.0.0 because spybot said it had spyware in it. Now that I've restorded my system, download accelerator is back but without a unistall log so it will not let me unistall it and spybot can't get ride of it. What you got for that Nnxt?
