Redirected home page

Did you ever get an answer to your question? I'm having
trouble with my home page being redirected to a site
which also downloads porn sites to my favorites list.
Every time I log on I have to remove the sites from my
favorites every time and there are about 10 of them!

I, too, change the home page designation in the Internet
options, butit doesn't even last from one shut down to
the next.

If you found an answer, please share.
Thanks!

Here are some suggestions, see if it works:
-- cleanup all your browser history i.e "Delete
Cookies", "Delete Files", "Clear History" under Tools--
General tab.
-- also change your cookies setting to "prompt" under
Privacy--Advanced tab. Also check off "Override automatic
cookie handling" box. Accept cookies for only those sites
who do you trust.
-- clear AutoComplete history under Content-->AutoComplete
-- block this porn site by typing address under Privacy--
-- In registry editor check Start Page value under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER-->Software-->Microsoft-->Internet
Explorer-->Main

These suggestions are based upon WindowsXP, your settings
may be different based upon your OS. See if this helps.
