Inbox

[Joe]

This is a problem that is random and ive checked all
settings and i dont know how to fix it. At random when I
go to my inbox it will redirect me to a search engine.
In the address bar it has outlook:inbox it shows the
messages real fast and then it takes me to this page:
http://www.jraun.com/search.php?search=outlook:Inbox. I
can hardly access my inbox because it does it at random
and there may be days it will go to the search engine.
If someone could help me correct this problem that would
be great.
Thanks,
Joe

See the AdAware and Spybot section below....

*** Good security housekeeping tips, in no particular order: ***

* See http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm

* Go to www.lavasoftusa.com and download AdAware...install, launch, update &
run it. This can rid your computer of spyware/adware. Also find SpyBot
Search & Destroy as it will sometimes find things AdAware doesn't, and vice
versa.

* Use antivirus software (www.grisoft.com has a freebie) and update it
regularly - at least once a week; daily if possible.

* Use a good firewall to block access to your computer from the Internet
(www.sygate.com is a decent freebie for a standalone workstation; hardware
appliances are a better choice for networks). For software firewalls, see
BlackIce or the freebie at www.sygate.com - but you do get what you pay for.
For a good hardware firewall, see NetGear or Linksys or DLink - they all
make easy to use products, but make sure they're true firewalls and not just
NAT devices, as those are not going to stop anyone. Expect to pay about $80
USD for a good hardware firewall.

* Get a popup blocker to stop IE popups, such as http://toolbar.google.com
(which is also just plain handy in general)

* Run Windows Update regularly (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) to get
all the latest patches for your operating system.

* See http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm for lots of information on
browser hijacking and how to stop it

* Do not use Imesh or Kazaa any other peer-to-peer file sharing software,
ever.

* Do not use Hotbar.

Joe,

Please try this:

1. Right-click your Inbox and click Properties.
2. Select the Home Page tab
3. Clear the checkbox for "Show home page by default for this folder"

Hope this helps.

Since I will NOT click on random URLs, is this the navpop or popnav or
whatever problem? If yes, then see this page:

This is not a proper solution but you could block access to the
www.jraun.com site in Control panel/Internet properties/Security/ Restricted
sites.
