    Even after I got rid of the virus, the problem still came back. But then number one worked for me after I enabled the registry entry. It seemed the other options won't work, for me at least, without going through process number one.
    The virus slowed down my internet, as well. My homepage ended up being blank. Only Firefox was able to circumvent it for some reason.
    Thanks for the solutions. :)
