Starting the Group Policy Editor (which is not available in Home
Edition) is not the answer. It sounds like the OP has been hijacked by
some malware. He should remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy
from www.security.kolla.de and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be
sure to update these programs before running them. Naturally, he should
also be running a current (post-2002 version using updated definitions)
antivirus program also. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal
tools in Safe Mode.
