Click2Begin hijacker - help

[TwoCard]

My laptop has this thing.
You log in to the internet - then are sent to www5.click2begin.com.
Next you are sent a random website - the last one to spanishluck - a internet casino.

You close those sites and 20/30 minutes later it grabs you again.

Norton and AdAware do not find anything.

Please help.

Quick fix for now.

Check to see what your Web Browser Home Page is set on.

In addition, clear your cookies manually or with the CCleaner software that was posted in this forum. Good luck.

Ran the CCleaner.
Homepage is yahoo.com.

Still getting the click2begin hijacker.

It goes to the homepage but as soon as I go to another site the hijack starts.

Any more suggestions ??

Run a registry cleaner/repair and see what you come up with. I personally run the following registry cleaner/repair because it gives me the degree of the problem.

the following tool is also good, but be careful on what you delete.

If you're running XP, you'll probably have to disable system restore, reboot, and then run sysclean from Trendmicro.com. You can download it at http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/tsc/sysclean.com

(You'll also have to download the latest virus pattern file from http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp).

another good cleaner, like ccleaner, is
http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/

easy to install and run. cleans temps, cookies, histories, etc. love running this on a person's computer and freeing up gigs of space.

Be careful what you delete worried me.

At the end I got a message saying something about Window's files not being recognized or corrupted - Please insert system disk. ???/ Coukd not get out of the loop - clicking any icons (retry, cancel etc) took you back to the message.

Just restarted and everything appears intact.

Still have the original hijacker.
