i-Lookup

Can anyone tell me how to stop Internet Explorer opening on
I-Lookup home page by default. My normal default home page is MSN but for some reason it now opens I-Lookup. I cant find any reference to it in windows explorer. I also get alot of pop ups which wont let me shut them down.
This problem is on one of my work computers where a few of the young lad trainees have access. (which explains the problem)
we run windows 98
Please anyone HELP

Hi stitch

Not necessarily true,, you could be a nun surfing and still get infected, on the other had where you surf does play a Big part

win 98 but what version IE and patch's for ?
have you ran any anti spyware programs ?
the two most popular are in my signature,,update them once installed
even if you have they might not target a new variant yet,

Please don't try a manual remove'l

do you see "cool web" search on any of the hijacked pages ?
