I hate to ask here but I am having no luck anywhere else (IE tech question)

I had a some piece of shit malware install on my computer yesterday that redirected me to best-search a coolweb type site everytime I clicked.

I downloaded HijackThis and proceded to delete everything in the registry that had best-search in it.(Stupid I know but but I was frustrated

Now the only page I can go to in IE is the one that is set as the home page. To browse I have to copy and paste or hand type urls into the home page under tools and apply and hit the home button.

Any way to fix this? I know that's an open ended question but there are some pretty smart people here.

If u have XP you should be able to restore your system to a time before u fucked with the registry

Then use AdAware to get rid of it

Ran shredder first then hijack this because I was still getting redircted to the page.

Everything is fine except I have somehow delted something and no matter what I click get sent to whatever the home page is set to.

And restore is off...
