home page

[Leo Kerner]

I set the home page to my favorite one. It seems to work; if I open a
new internet explorer window it comes up to the selected home page.
BUT... if I log off, when I return the home page has changed, to
http://autosearch.cc/

I have dome a virus scan with McAfee and have no virus.

Any help?

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.
