Resetting Home Page

G

Guest

I don't know what my fiance has done, but somehow, the homepage (I wanted it
to be my.yahoo.com) keeps changing. I reset it properly, and then
immediately it goes back to some weird website that I don't want on my
computer.

Anyhow know how to change this permanently? I'm at my wit's end. Using
Tools, Internet Options, "use current" while on the yahoo page doesn't stay
on there. It works one time and then it's right back to the funky page again.

Hi,
This is being caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite)

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

Additional information at:

Hope this helps,
Don
