find4u.net ????

I didn't know where to post this so I thought I would stick in here.

My brother-in-law all of a sudden had his start up web page changed to this find4U.net.

We tried to change it and every time the computer is restarted it comes back. We did a search to find out that we need to run some hijack program. Still can't get rid of it.

Anyone ever seen this or know how to get rid of it?

Thanks

Check your startup programs using msconfig. Also, have you used antispyware programs like spybot or ad-aware?

Thanks everyone. We will try these suggestions.

We have run adaware and some hijack program to no avail, but will try the other suggestions.
