Home page problem

[Bugsy]

Lately, every time I try to sign on to my MSN home page, I get a white page
with the following cryptic message: "y.msn.com/'>here". Usually, when I
hit "Refresh", the normal home page will load, but this extra wait is time
consuming and aggravating. What is the problem?

I run Windows XP Home and IE 6.0.2800.

Thanks in advance.

This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

Thanks for reply.

I have current versions of both AdAware and SpyBot, which have found nothing
on my system. Also NAV finds nothing. When the described symptom started
recently, it is also accompanied by numerous websites not loading (such as
Drudge Report, WND, and even some of the links you mentioned such as
aumha.org. I get the message that the "server cannot be found".

Any other ideas?

Thanks again.
