    Browser malware can't delete


    I recently downloaded a little program from Kim Komando named TaskbarCleaner. I'm always careful not to check those little programs they offer when downloading various programs. However, after downloading taskbar cleaner, something called MyStart has attached itself to Chrome as the home page and can't get rid of it. Both my regular homepage and MyStart come up. I've done Start searches, Ctrl Panel/Programs, the download folder, even the Revo uninstall list. It doesn't show up anywhere. Attached is a screen shot. I'd appreciate your help in killing this monster. ellen

    Have you tried using System Restore in the Control Panel to restore your computer to a point in time before you installed TaskbarCleaner?
