IE problem

[evenstar]

I use mozilla firefox as my main browser, but also use internet explorer occasionally for msn hotmail etc. This morning while I was checking my emails a program has installed itself on my pc. Its Derbiz.com and I can't get rid of it. I'm geting a lot of pop ups too. Please can anyone help? I've tried looking for an uninstaller but no luck yet.

Google lavasoft and download the anti spyware program, that should kill it. You can use firefox for hotmail, BTW. The only time i use IE6 is for Windows Update.

if your browser has been hijacked,search for and download a free program caled Hijackthis,and it should get rid of the problem.

I also have the same problem as evenstar with derbiz.com. but have not a lot of IT knowledge so am not sure what to do for the best. Has anyone had any success in removing it. Is the problem serious and what exactly is it? Any suggestions for a basic user would be appreciated.
