Hello,
I am having problems with my explorer home page default
setting.
There is a web page (firstbookmark.net) that has attached
itself to the use default section of the internet option
setting that I can not seem to get rid of.
I have tried resetting the default page (Tools: internet
option,program,reset web setting, apply,OK) and no luck.
I have deleted all cookies, temporary files and cleared
the history and still no luck.
Once I complete the above and restarted my computer the
default setting of numbers,/,% and a few letter reappear
in the address window when the (use default) tab is
clicked on.
With all that said and done, when I reopen the window's
Explorer the firstbookmark.net page opens up.

I have purchased Norton A/V. Downloaded SPYBOT, Still no
luck.

This web page starting giving me problems. When I open
Explorer and open anyother site other then
firstbookmark.net the page becomes very slow.

I'm using IE6 sp1 with q818529,q330994. XP-home.

Can someone tell me what I can or can't do to solve this
problem.

Kind Regards.

James Wilks.

Click to expand...

If you don't already have it, get Spybot S&D. There's a short tutorial and
download link here:
http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/

After installing, press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and
install all updates.

Fix everything SpybotSD labels in red.

Reboot, and then test your system. If your problem isn't gone (or if you're
unsure)-

Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents. Most
of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything
yet.

Then go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/
where you'll get expert help.

Just Sign in, or post as a guest,and go to the Spyware and
Hijackware Removal section. Press "new topic", explain your problem, and
copy and paste the contents of the Hijack This log into your new message.
 
Search for a file named bootconf.exe and delete it...Cahnge your
homepage and when you reboot it will not change.
