<resolved> Help, how to find and remove the file.

Hi
In order to get rid of some annoying spyware on my computer I am trying to edit the system.dat and user.dat files. But I can not do this becasue it does not allow me to save the changed.
The homepage of my browser is highjacked to one that is being loaded eveytime from www.netfinder.cc (if you can do whatever you can to shutdown these bastards! and bless you for it.)
The spyware code must be java and contain the work netfinder.cc somewhere but I can not find it on the machine.
SInce this forum is packed with programmers I thought someone might have a suggestion as how to deal with this problem.
Thanks

Have you checked the site of your anti-virus software? There are a lot of programs for removing stuff like that.

Get Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) - best way to cleanup your pc by far ...

Good luck. :wave:

Hi
I did search the symantec's web site for this and found nothing useful. This hijack nonsense is too new aparently.
I downloaded the beta version but it does not work on Win98 (MS people must have forgotten they once made a win98 and it was pretty good).
How can I edit system.dat and user.dat files on my machine?
Thanks

Try downloading Spybot and running it.
