Every time I turn on computer 3 items are added to my
favorites and my homepage is different. I have deleted
these items several times and changed my homepage, but
once I shut off computer and start it up again these
items re-appear. Funny thing is, the items in my
favorites are porn sites which I have never visited and
even says so in the pop up....visted 0 times last visited
never! And the homepage was tooncomics which is where
these porn sites are from, now the homepage is some
search engine.
