Default Default Page on Internet Changed!!!

Hi all gurus!!

I need HELP here!

1) I stupidly download a software and installed it. The next thing I know everytime I click on my internet explorer to use, it automatically changes my default page to http://eprottectpage.com. And it blocks my default page as well. I suspected my internet browser has been hijacked. How do I solve this problem?

2) Secondly it installed a small icon at the bottom right of my screen. This icon kept giving an onscreen message every few minutes "Critical System Errors!" and that I need to install some anti-spyware/anti-virus software (which I already have plenty). And when I click on it, it takes me to this website: "Welcome to VirusBusters.com!"

I have tried all sorts of ways to get rid of them using my current AVG anti-virus, SpyBot, AD-Ware, CCleaner, Ewido, etc., but to no avail. I suspect it's in my registry as well.

Can someone recommend an excellent free registry fixer untility to resolve this or have a solution to this nagging 'pain-in-neck' issue?

HELP! , HELP!! much appreciated if you can email me at :
Tech1268 @ yahoo.com
Thanks................


Regards
Tech1268

Hello Tech1268,

Welcome to PCHF.

Please can you follow the link on my signature to PCHF Prework and post your AVG and hijack logs back here. A member of the security team will analyse and post a fix for you shortly after.

You still there tech1268?

BTW: I have disabled your email address and infection URLs. I think you don't want spam bots flooding your mail, and we also don't want members clicking on the infection links and getting their computer compromised.
