Default home page...

[Rick]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the default home page feature in
Explorer. I've set my default home page, but when the
machine reboots it defaults to some other home page (one
I've never specified.) I'm suspecting some virus or
something... but my Norton Antivirus hasn't detected
anything.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
