Normally I use Excite.com as my home page. Tonight I did a search and found that my regular Excite search function has been hijacked by Dogpile.com. I tried doing System Restore to an earlier time, that didn't get rid of it. Has anybody else had this happen? How do I get rid of it? I'm going to try a full system scan for adware/spyware, but other suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I've had this happen to a friend of mine a couple times, but it was nothing on his system. Do the scan and check everything, but more than likely it will be back in a day or so - I've never found anything on his system, but it restored itself the next day, so I'd think it might be something with a DNS server, or Excite itself?

(Or that may be totally incorrect, as I can get Excite to pull up just fine from here.)
