i keep getting an error message - RegSvr32
Load Library ("C:\Windows\internet.dll") failed.
GetLastError returns 0X 00000485

does anybody know what this is and how I can stop it from
happening? My homepage also keeps getting switched to
easysearch.com PLEASE HELP! Somebody was staying at my
house and now my computer is haywire!

This looks like the remains of a virus or malware attack that's been partly
removed......
try this

Start|Run
type
MSCONFIG
click OK

Click on the Startup tab
look in there for an entry for Regsvr32.... (probably in the right-hand
column)
Uncheck that entry
Click Apply
Click CleanUp
Click OK - and reboot on request

See if that fixes it.
