my.msn.com Problem

[Cliff]

My IE home page is set to my.msn.com. Sometimes when I
start IE the only thing that will be displayed is the
following:

y.msn.com/'>here.

If I click refresh, the page comes up correctly. This
only happens the first time I run IE after start up or
returning from hibernate mode.

Any ideas what is causing the problem?

Thanks,
Cliff

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.
