Home Page changes

[BK]

Using IE 6 on Windows XP

I have set my home page to "blank," yet lately it gets reset to "msn" as
the home page. I continue to reset the home page to "blank."

Any ideas on how the home page is getting reset every couple of days to msn?

This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

Thanks for the information. We run AdAware 6 which we update every time we
run it (three times a week), but I don't have SpyBot. I'll take care of
that right now.
