Good day,
I have an "XP Home" computer that had alot of spyware on
it. I cleaned it all up, ran a virus scan, cleaned out all
types of temp files and removed un-needed applications.

When I try to connect to the Internet, using a router with
broad band, it tries to go to http://search.cpl (or
something close). If I change the default home page in IE
properties, hit apply and ok out, it goes right back to
the above site again. If I type a url in the address bar,
other than "msn.com" it goes right back to the above url.
I can get to different sites by using the MSN search
engine only. I reloaded XP, (didn't wipe drive) that did
not help. The system restore was turned off for some
reason.
Word is funky too, but that's an easy fix.

Help?
GP
