I opened a web page:
http://www.newera2000.com/
for optin ads, and it seems to have taken over as my
startup page in IE6. The dialog box to change it is now
fully ghosted, so that it can't be changed...
Anyone have any idea how to remove?
Thanks

Main cause is browser hijackers/spyware in your system.
Run Ad-Aware (best spyware remover). Download Ad-Aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com and re-scan the system for any other spyware products in
the system. **First , be sure to use update the pattern file using WebUpdate
in Ad-Aware feature**

Tim,
I don't see any where on their site that would hijack your browser .....
Did you sign up for one of their services or download something from them?
If so, that's most likely where it occured ...... Check Add Remove.
