does anyone now how to get rid of this shit
after it sets up shop in my pc?

homepage,
http://www.istarthere.com/
fucking drives me nuts, along with lop.com
why the hell does anyone think, this method could be good for busines

You'll have to change it in your registry, I'm afraid.
However, one good thing about istarthere.com: it's a ppc search engine which allows you to "testdrive" the system with $10 for free *without* supplying a creditcard number.
So, pay them back for hijacking your comp by adding a few hundred of those completely free accounts and getting free traffic to your sponsors :)
