Home Page Changes

My home page keeps defaulting to http://hom .........and so on.
There's no spyware or viruses. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have the exact same problem. Only for me its the site www.incredfind.com. It doesn't load, and if you try to load anything else it attempts to load itself again. I've scanned for spyware and viruses numerously and nothing.

It's caused by a virus or spyware but since you say there aren't any, I
don't know what might be wrong.

Just in case, though:

Check your system for "hijackware":

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
http://forum.mvps.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.**

[Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.]

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

Yes there is and it is hidden in the registers - copy

the code, run regedit - click on edit and find and look
for the pasted code -- then delete it and you will be fine
