A search engine called DORKODROM is now my default web page, even
though I change it everytime and delete the cookie! How can I

 Thanks in advance!

Browser hijackers unfortunately are becoming a very common problem. I
second the recommendation given by the commenter below, regarding
Spybot S&D and Lavasoft Ad-Aware.

In addition, if these do not work, there is a possibility that this is
a variant of the CoolWeb hijacker, so you can try using
CoolWebShredder as well:

Please let me know if this helps; if not, there are other remedies available.

Try spybot search and destroy or lavasoft's ad-aware, the former
especially recomended.

Spybot Search & Destroy (try this one first):

Lavasoft Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Both are available free of charge.
