In internet options I tried to set my homepage to msn.com,but as soon as I
"apply" and ok n leave and come back a second later my homepage is set back
to "about:blank"....I tried to to system restore but the malware I picked up
won't let me....Every 20 min's I get a warning that malware has invested my
computer and for $49.95 they will get rid of the problem....I have run my
ad-aware,AntiVir and stringer and none of these programs are picking up any
problems...Can you please help...Thank-you

One you have run all the above and removed the Malware, you should be

Semi-bad advice. CCleaner is good if you know what you're doing. Spybot and
Ad-aware are also good. Reg Cleaner and Registry Optimizer are not. In
order to forestall any arguments about "they worked fine for me", let me
just say that registry cleaners are unnecessary in XP, dangerous if used by
someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Do a Google Groups Advanced
Search, constrain the search to this newsgroup, and use "registry cleaners"
as your search term to get links to many, many threads discussing this.
