Clean Booting

[Bill]

I have contracted a bug that changes my home page to
something different every time I reboot. I followed the
recommendation of MS #320159 and #310353 to find where
the culprit is. Problem: The file does not exist as
stated in the startup file (MSupdater.exe is supposed to
be in /All Users/start menu/programs/startup/). Help as
I want to delete the file or change the contents.

Thanks.........

Aloha,

Check for presence of elusive spywares using the award
winning Lavasoft adware removal tool. Download from here:

Furthermore, if you are able to change the home page then,
make the desired website as your home page or click the
about:blank button for a blank home page and then,
download a tiny patch to lock your home page:

In future you can unlock your home page by downloading
