Default homepage keeps being changed

[Guest]

Hi,

Whenever I open IE6 the homepage is res://oqcup.dll/index.html#21259 which I don't want. However, when I change the homepage address in Settings\Control Panel\Internet Options it just resets it back to res://oqcup.dll/index.html#21259 the next time I use the PC. How do I stop this from happening?

Thanks.

Hi,
Just adding to Kelly's advice. The latest update for Ad-aware is fixing this
for many users. If not, see this workaround:

Just to let you know. I had the same problem where my
home page kept being changed to about:blank. I ran ad
aware and it worked great.

I have the same problem in my XP with IE-6.0. I ran
adaware and it appears to clean this. But the problem
comes back up next time I access the web.
Any ideas as to how to eliminate this?
