HomePage problems

[jay]

Please help me, I have a problem with my home page
settings, not too long ago, my homepage was changed
without me knowing to a http://cool-homepage.com search
engine. I did changed it back to my original hompage and
it seems to be working fine for about a day where it
changed its self to the cool-hompage. i have been
constantly been changing the homepage back to my old one
but it wont stop. I have also run ad-ware and deleted all
the files found and also have run several virus scans but
still nothing. Can this be fix? I have windows XP
Thank you Jay

Sounds like spyware or a home page hijacker.

Run these tools:
spybot -- http://www.safer-networking.org/
ad-aware -- http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

When you run Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy (another free malware
removal tool from www.security.kolla.de), did you update them first?
You need to, because these programs work the same way as antivirus
software - with new "includes" (called "virus definitions" in av sw) to
help keep up-to-date with new malware. So, first update the spyware
removal tools. Then run those tools in Safe Mode. You might also want
to download the CWShredder tool from www.spywareinfo.com (a great site
with loads of info about malware).
