IE Corruption Problem?

[Dick Harrison]

I have IE 6.2 with SP 2 installed. I have a corruption of some kind -- but,
cannot get rid of it.

The "home page" at start up always goes to the site "about:blank" (in the
Address location) -- I go to yahoo.com then I go to toots/options and
change it to "use current", but when I close IE and then open it -- it goes
to "about:blank". Also I still get pop-ups. IE is set with "block on" and
filter level high.

I have Norton anti-virus which us current and I have Spybot. I have run
virus scan and Spybot (several times) -- but the corruption remains.

Any advise on how get rid of it?

You have a "home page hijacker" of some sort installed on your
computer.

Go to MVP Jim Eshelman's free online spyware test web page at
http://aumha.org/a/noads.htm and see what it detects. Follow the
advice on that page to clean it up, or use Jim's Quick Fix procedure

Good luck
