Web Site takes over home page

[Fred Maillet]

A web site called fastwebfinder.com keeps taking over my
home page. How does this happen and how do I stop it. I
deleted all the cookies, temp files, etc. It still
overwrites my home page address. It also adds things to
my favorites and awful sex sites to the history folder.

www.lavasoftusa.com/
AdAware program there will most likely fix you, until you go back

when a popup appears asking to change your homepage do
not press the no button. press the x in corner. if x is
disabled (and probably is) use task manager to end task
this browser window. a new window can be opened.

these popups will appear usually when you press the back
button in toolbar. about 1 in 50 sites will popup with
this little item. popup blocker does not stop this one.

First eliminate any scumware.

This ain't me. I don't get any pop ups it just changes it.
Usually at startup.
