=?iso-8859-1?Q?Jos=E9_Moreno?=

Since 2 days ago, my internet explorer 6 start page is
taking me to this address http://searchpage.cc/ which I
did not choose. I have changed it in the internet options
several times already to my regulas homepage, but it will
come back to this. I did a search for programs with names
shown in the pages that this take me (smart find), which
include many links, including some to adult sites, but
nothing came up.
It happened to me before when I installed Kazaa that an
unwanted page appeared once in a while, but this one is
anoying. What should I do to find out what has taken
control of my IE6? (BTW, I have the latest Windows XP
secutiry updates). My email is jmoreno49(removethis)
@prodigy.net.mx
Thanks.

You've been hijacked. Get one or more of the several good
programs to fix your problem.
I use SpyBot Search & Destroy free from
www.safer-networking.org and Ad-Aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com There are other programs, try Google if
these don't fix your problem.

Thank you very much! I downloaded the software and
removed files. Now I will reboot to see if it worked.
