internet explorer access page

[John Dwyer]

I have a cable modem for my internet access. Every time I
log on to internet explorer I end up with a default page
to res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049. Any ideas why? My
cable service had me reset my internet options but no
help.

John,

This is caused by a CoolWebSearch variant.
