Cannot change start page in IE6

[Guest]

The strangest thing has happened. I cannot change the
start page in internet explorer 6. When I go into the
internet options, the area is grey and will not allow me
to change the start page. I tried reinstalling ie6 but
still same problem. Please someone help!

You may have been hijacked! Use SpyBot Search and Destroy, AdAware, Pest
Patrol or the like to find and delete the malicious software.

It would appear that you have a virus that has disabled
your ability to change the homepage, and it probably
comes from the site you cannot change from, or some
company associated with it. I would suggest that you
download spybot search and destroy (it is free, do a
search for it) as well as run your virus program.
