I was browsing some smut sites and suddenly had my home
page settings taken overby a search.xenroder for my home
page. It is also screwing up my msn search engine. I
have tried resetting the home page and emptying all
cookies but nothing works, what can I do?

Hi Paul. I give you credit for admitting it! Most just say - don't
know how it happened, etc. Anyhow try running a program like Ad Aware or Spy
Bot Search and Destroy on your computer. Both are free downloads. -- Steve

Paul..you can also check your registry where you home page
is located to manually change you Home page back to 'what
ever' and/or you can use IE's Restricted Site to restrict
the 'search.xenroder'.......

hope this helps
