Unable to change homepage on IE browser--stuck on http://www.att.net, my
previous DSL carrier. Have several different malware/adware/antispy
programs running, none have detected any hijacks. Have tried running CW
shredder, no work. Have used HijackThis to remove suspect homepage/start
page entries from Registry, but also no avail. Also ran Ad Aware VX2, says
system is clean No matter what I do to try to change homepage, it keeps going
back to ATT.Net. Running WinXP SP2 and running out of ideas.
What am I missing? Many thanks to anyone with some answers!!
