Home Page Changing

[Scott Ulriksen]

5 or 6 times a week my home page will change to
res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213. Sometimes it will even
change to this page if I leave my homepage and imeadiatly
go back. Can anyone tell me how to stop this from
happening? It also affects my wifes homepage when she is
logged on instead of me.

I keep getting my ie 6.0 home page changed to
res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213

I change my home page to example, earthlink and when I
reboot it automatically changes home page to above
location.

Anyone know how to remove this instruction?
