HOW DO I RE-SET MY HOMEPAGE?

[Angry with get-find.com]

Everytime I turn on/restart my computer my default
homepage is reset to 'get-find.com' -- I always manually
reset it to Yahoo or whatnot, but when I turn off/restart
my computer it automatically resets the my homepage
to 'get-find.com' How can I permanently reset my
homepage to a 'real' (i.e. useful) website?

first get adaware at www.lavasoftusa.com/ and remove whatever spyware keeps
changing your homepage back. Then change it to whatever you want like
normal.

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
