hello...i'm gladly wanna tell u that just now i was able to fix the problem like we together faced. actually after few days, i eventually found the key of the problem. try this: go to task manager, select the processes tab bar, find winlgn.exe. after that, stop that process. then open the registry editor window (run->regedit) and find key "your-searcher". after u find the string at "start page" key (start page: dword value: http://your-searcher.com/index.htm), delete that entire key. then restart ur computer. it sholud be working then... thank you....
