Change Homepage default in Internet explorer

[Dave Moore]

I am referring to internet explorer. I have just bought a
new computer
and it has Windows XP Home on it.

When I initially started to use it it had MSN as the home
page. I
changed it to have google as my home page. This worked
satisfacorilly
for a while untill without me doing anything the home
page changed to
the site

res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776

I do not want this site to be my home page so I tried to
change the
homepage site by goint through the steps

tools/internet options/ and then typing a new hompepage
site in the
section / apply / OK

this does change the home page for the next time I use
internet explorer
but on subsequent times it always returns to

res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776

as the home page - and this is the site remembered as Set
default.
Thisd is very frustrating and i would much prefer to open
internet
explorer to have either MSN or Google as my home page but
i keep getting
directed to

res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776

as my default. I have also tried using the Set as
Homepage link on the
MSN home page site but i always get redirected to

res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776

on the second and all subsequent connections to internet
explorer. I
know this is a littlelong winded but i hope you can give
me information
as to how to avoid this link taking place.

Many Thanks

Dave Moore

You have been hijacked. Get SpyBot Search and Destroy and
install it
(free from http://www.safer-networking.org/) do the update
and then scan your system. It will remove the hijack
program (and probably many other unwanted items too).
