SearchV.com

My internet home page was set on yahoo now opens with "SearchV.com" I cannot get rid of it. When re-setting it continues to open with SearchV. Any ideas ?

Thanks, I ran both spypot and adaware, no change. SearchV continues to be my home page.

What os is it? If its xp or w2k go to this key in the registry and change all the Searchv.com entries back to your homepage URL.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Try doing a search through the entire registry for searchv.com and replace any you find with your homepage.
