Home page displays some other page.

[Cipriano]

I found something similar to the probem I'm having in
article 320159, but internet options buttons are not
disabled as stated in the article.

The problem.

I have a home page set up and it works fine the first
time Expolrer is launched, but then the homepage is
deleted and about:blank shows up. After that every time
I launch the browser a new web page apears - Sixroad.com
or Globalfinder.com. These two webpages are not listed in
the internet options home page section. I did a search
of the RedEdit and was able to find them. But I'm not
sure how to delete them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Global-Finder (CoolWebSearch spyware). This is a trojan/spyware that hijacks
Internet Explorer start and search settings to one of several different web
sites

Download CoolWebSearch destroyer from here:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

And download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com and update it. It eliminates
for any other spyware, if present in the system.
