I did not expect a company like ATARI would hijack a computer. But
looks like crooks can be big heads. MY son set homepage
(www.atari.com/godzilla)...since then, I found it impossible to remove
it. I used every way in the book, but it simply shows up again...plz
give me advice.

What OS?
What browser?
What AV do you have installed?
Are you running Spybot S&D's Teatimer or SDHelper utilities?

Please be accurate! - there is no such thing as "Spybot kill and destroy"
(except possibly a spoof of the real app!)

Zone Alarm AND Spybot S&D (which is what I suspect you meant) both have the
capability to prevent changes to the Home page - and if you already have an
illegitimate homepage, then they can perpetuate it... disable both, and then
try again.
