IE problems

[Ronnie]

IE home page keeps changing evertime I restart my
computer. Where can I go to delete this automatic change.
I wanting to keep MSN as my hompage, but it automaticly
changes to gohip or allnet. Also it puts alot of sex sites
in my favorates. I can delete them but again they come
back after I restart.

Once you install a spyware cleaner, you will be able to
breath easier. It virtually clears up any an all
problems! My computer friend at work suggests using two
different spyware cleaners, like Spybot AND AdAware,
because if one of them doesn't catch something, chances
are the other will.

However, I never installed a second one; I just use
spybot for now, and again, it has eliminated almost all
of the instrusions. Also make sure you have a firewall
installed. There are free ones available on the Net.

Still better, get XP, as it has a built in firewall...
but I now lots of people aren't ready to buy a new
computer just yet...

Hope this helps you...I'm not a computer geek like many
others, but the techniques above have helped me. You
could verfy these with a computer professional first if
you feel better...

The WinXP firewall has to be turned on for the connection and it won't stop
people from downloading this junk.
