Hello,
I've an odd problem with my XP installation > quite regularly IE 6.0 will
set the default page to MSN.COM in spite of my using blank.When this happens
a spyware scan using Ad-Aware will always reveal a 'possible browser hijack
attempt' followed by very slow or no DNS resolving.No matter how many times
I remove/quarantine this and set the IE page back to blank it will show up
again,even after having restored my system with an image from several months
ago that did not have this problem.
All WinXP packs/fixes are up to date,no viruses to be found with latest
definitions.
Help!!
