Internet explore start page.

[Pivert]

Hi all,

where are all "start page" alternatives stored ?

I have an official start page, but sometimes others try to nest in. I reset
to my start page, but also want to eliminate those from my PC, and when I
enter the internet -> options -> start page field I see all those invaders .
How can I get rid of them ?

Cleared temp int files, cookies, did a search in regsitry : no hit !

Any idea?
Thanks

Phil

Thanks.
I already almost daily run Norton, SpySweeper, SpyBot SD, AdAware or at
least once a week if not surfing much. They do not detect same intruders.
Will try those both of you refer to.

But again : where are these intruder start pages stored ? Can't find them
anywhere.
