Today after some looking around the web, I restarted my computer it went to
a web site that I had never heard of, this site had become my home page. I
went to the tools and reset my home page back to the site that I want to
keep and it worked fine until I restarted my computer again and then it went
back to the site that I do not want. Does anyone have any idea how to get
rid of this permanetly. I don't want to have to keep changing it back to my
home page every time that I restart my system.

The problem may be due to a spyware.

Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate
the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **

( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch) Also, Download:

Thanks Ramesh for the information. I loaded the software and it worked
perfectly..

Are there any other things like this that can be used to better protect my
system?

Many thanks,
