changing default page problem

S

Hi

Fro some reason my default page keeps changing to coolsearch.com ? any ideas
?

I go into tools and change it to google.com then when i reboot and load up
explorer its changes to the coolserach.com

i think its something to do with the 'use default' in tools --> internet
options
because this is

http://in.webcounter.cc/-/?ydtfs

which when u put into the address bar resolves to coolserch.com

so i think then that something is causing ie to use the default page rather
than the one i set it to and then i think somehow the default page has been
tampered with to be set to

Try removing all the TEmporary Internet Files (Internet
Options > Settings > View Files > Edit - Select All, File -
Delete. Reboot PC and see if that does it.
There could be a cookie in there that's making that page
the default all the time
