    My IE has apparently been highjacked. I can get into and surf on Foxfire, but impossible to do so on IE. I constantly get routed to other sites including Facebook , appround.com and wanting me to download Codex. What can I do?

    I think the problem may have been resolved since I uninstalled Search and Protect by Conduit. I'll wait a day or two and see that happens.

    This problem was resolved by uninstalling a maverick search engine that had somehow been installed. Sorry to be so long following up on this thread - life intervened.
