I have IE V 6.0.2800.

I been to tools -> intenet options -> set my home page ->
hit apply.

When I get out of IE and come back later on it does go to
the home page that I've set.

It goes to mysearchnow.com


Does any know how to recify this problem?

Download all recommended programs in No.1,
Follow the instruction in No. 2 & 3 for using the programs. And there are

It is a good idea to run these programs in safe mode. Instructions for Safe

"mysearchnow" is a C2Media/Lop Spyware parasite variant.
SpyBot Search & Destroy or Lavasoft's Ad-aware both detect this.
SpyBot here: http://www.safer-networking.org
Ad-aware here: http://www.lavasoftusa.com

Install either application or both, if you wish, update them both immediately
prior to running a Spyware scan.
