Tech tips: Browser Hijacker infection.
A browser hijacker modifies your browser settings so when you type in a URL you are redirected to another site.
Off the top I was thinking you should try the following steps:
1. Delete all temporary internet files and browsing history.
2. Run a full system scan using Symantec Antivirus with the latest NAV def’s.
3. Run a full system scan using Ad-aware by Lavasoft with the latest updated def’s.
One of my tech friends suggested using Spyware Doctor by pc-tools and run the scan.
Follow any directions given by Symantec if a virus/trojan/hijacker is found. This may include modifying the registry or running a fix file found on Symantec’s website.
The last time my wife’s computer was infected with a bad virus I had to rebuild it. Meaning I saved all her data then completely formatted the hard drive thus removing everything. Then I re-installed the operating system and all her applications and of course her special fonts. :) Then I restored all her data. Very time consuming but of course this completely eliminated the virus.

Tech tip fix for “Error Message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \winnt\system32\config\systemced”
The fix is to boot-up on a special system boot disk and complete the following:
1. change directory to c:\winnt\system32\config
2. rename system to system.old
3. rename system.alt to system
4. re-boot pc
You should now be able to boot up your computer using this older backup copy of the registy file.
