first click on tools
go to internet options and change to the home page of your choice...
restart in safe mode
run spybot
click imunize after the scan is complete
run ad aware
then check again with hijack this
delete any file related to the website
restart and see if it comes back. if so run hijack this again
save the log file, post it on the forum for hijack this and someone will help you sort it out in a couple days...(it does take a while for them to get to you but do as they say)

There is a setting to lock your home page to prevent hijackers from changing it. I'm on Firefox so I don't know what the IE equivalent is. It should be under options. Just make sure to reset it after the change, for security reasons.

If you are using a Windows OS, type in msconfig in the Run box. Select the Startup tab, and go through the list of all programs that run at startup and see if the www.7939.com is listed, or look for one that doesn't look legit. Uncheck the box next to it, and reboot.

1. Check for Virus - Norton Antivirus, Mcafee, AVG, etc...
2. Check for Spyware - Spy Sweeper, Spybot, etc ...
3. Check for adware - Ad-Adware from lavasoft is a good one.
Then try to remove it using the program, if cannot, then might have to clear it in safe mode or using MS-DOS format, which is quite troublesome.

hi, there maybe some virus with your IE browser, i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!
