IE Homepage

[Dan]

Starting yesterday an unwanted searchpage became my
homepage.I am not able to change it.I go into tools and
select "blank',hit apply and ok. I close explorer and
reopen it. It is correct (blank).After this it reverts
back to the unwanted search page. I have ran spybot and
adware. Everything was fine till yesterday,I use
Optimumonline as a homepage.

Install and run one or both of these utilities, which will locate
"intruders" and give you the option to remove them...

http://www.lavasoftusa.com (AdAware)
http://security.kolla.de (SpyBot)

Go back to tools/interent options and select the address
of your home page. Type http://www.optimumonline.com/
then APPLY and Save.

When ad-aware and spybot fail try "hijack this" run a
scan with it and copy the results with notepad,then post
these results in the forum at
www.spywareinfo.com, good luck
