Hi,

I have my homepage set to yahoo, but everytime I open
explorer it goes to a different homepage. Does anyone
know how to keep this from happening? Somehow the home
page is being reset.

Thanks,
AC

AC,
I think you have been bit by the Cool Web Search Hijack...
See the info below and do as it says.. Post back your results please.
Info: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/
File: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
<snip>
A small utility for removing CoolWebSearch (aka CoolWwwSearch,
YouFindAll, White-Pages.ws and a dozen other names).
Spybot S&D tends to forget essential parts of the hijack, so until it
updates,
you can just this to completely remove the hijack.
Updated to remove the new variants once they come out.
Unzip the tool, hit the executable, ensure that all instances of IE/OE
are closed, follow the prompts.
