Home Pages

How do I delete web addresses that have been listed as home pages? The place
where you type in the web adresses for a site..how do you delete those
addresses. I've deleted my history, my cookies and my temp files and one
particular address is still showing up. When I go in under internet options
this address is listed as a homepage address...how do I get rid of it?

You've got spyware, adware, a trojan, a search engine hijacker, or a home
page hijacker.

Run these tools weekly

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.

If you’re still having problems after running these then run HijackThis
and post the log to one of the specialty forums, _NOT_ this one.
