Someone, through a site I visited, has set my computer
each time I boot up to set my home page in explorer to a
specific site. I don't know how they did it, and I don't
know how to fix it. Help!!

Hi,

It sounds like this is could be the result of malware designed to inundate
your computer with advertising. Your best option would be to attempt to remove
the program through the use of a program such as AdAware, available from the
link below:

Once you download and install the program, ensure that you have updated it
with the latest definition. You can then rest easy with the knowledge you have
the latest protection. In addition to AdAware, you may consider other programs,
such as CWShredder, to aid you in removing the program(s) responsible for this
problem. CWShredder can be downloaded from:

It's also recommended that you read the following article as it pertains to
the root of the problem you are encountering:
