Verizon security suite wont find Bearshare hijacker.

[DrDVS1]

hello all.  i have the verizon security suite protection and it wont find or fix my homepage.  see i downloaded Bearshare and didnt like it so i deleted it.. now my hompage is all messed up with the Bearshear icon on the tab. i try to reset my hompage in FireFox.. but it goes back to bearshare... any ideas?

open internet explorer and go into tools, then internet options, then clcik on the advanced tab and reset the restore all advanced\default settings.    Then open your firefox and do the same in there, then manually go to the web page that you want to use as your home page and set that as your home page.  It should work just fine.    If not, call tech support at 1-888-553-1555 and ask to be connected to the support for the Internet Security Suite

did you DL the bearshare before you installed VISS or after?

I Tried what was suggested and it is still there.  my home page reads "http://search.bearshare.com/".  I D/L Verizon Security Suite to hopefuly take care of the problem, but hasnt found anything.  im puzzled as to what to do.  o.. IE is Fine.. it never changed but FireFox.

has..  i have done research to see what others say but they to are somewhat perplexed by it.. it was even explained in detail that its some copy of some program  of something to do something.  i dont know.

lol

i guess ill call if nno ohter suggestions are thought up. lol.. Thanx .  ill be checking in to see if anything new has shown up.

Dont know if you want to try this but it is something I would try.  Go in and do a system restore to a point prior to installing bearshare. may or may not work but it may be worth a try

start/programs/accessories/systemtools/system restore (win xp)

another possibility, try removing the VISS and installing the free version of AVG and do a scan with it. see if another AV program might spot it. Probably not as most AV programs use the same definitions but it may be worth a try.

I am with CharlesH regarding priracy. You stand a good chance of being prosecuted and paying mega bucks. It's not worth it. Not to mention the problems you have found for yourself. Try SpyBot Search and Destroy from Safer-Networking. If your machine is really hosed, you may need to run it from safe mode.
