I checked and my home page is still set to my original home page "yahoo.com" but it still pops up with the "Safeieweb" selling some spyware blocker, malware, etc.

Save the file by giving it a name.It will create a registration entries file in my documents folder.

Hi!
This is a browser hijack. Try using Ad Aware 6 to get rid of these pesky windows. This adware usually features some sort of adware downloading software thus, in no time, you'll get some "bonus" :( toolbars and so on...
Good luck!

Use Spybot and AdAware.
Run Spybot first.
And before running those, run any anti-virus program you might have.
If that doesn't fix the problem, download Hijack This and post the log on here or their website.....someone will be able to tell you what you need to manually delete.

I helped a woman yesterday with this and after running ad-aware,avg,Norton,etc the only thing that would remove it is spy bot search & destroy.

I keep saying this - do a spyware sweep. Spybot S & D is good.
