Homepage

[Kasper]

I cannot seem to keep my homepage set, for some reason some thing is running
on my machine causing my homepage to change to some search engine and it
also adds items to my favorites list. I tried to delete them but they keep
coming back. Can anyone tell me how to fix this annoying problem?

Try an anti spyware program--could be a problem with spyware. Do a search
for an anti-spyware program program on the Net.

You've got spyware, adware, a trojan, a search engine hijacker, or a home
page hijacker.
