Internet explorer

[Mich]

I am experiencing problems changing my homepage for the
internet. I have changed it via properties for internet
explorer to my desired page, but after a few times of
openining the internet explorer, or turining off the
computer and restarting it, it sets back to the home page
I tried to get rid of. Previous to this, I have never
been to this page, and do not know why it is opening as
my home page. Does any one know how to fix this???

Thanks
Mitch

Try obtaining a good advert detection program and running
that. It might be that (like mine) some spyware or such
has got into your computer and keeps changing your
homepage. Try NoAdware v1.2 I find it works quite well.

Hope this helps

Sounds like a browser hijack or spyware.
Download/install/update/run Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com to find and
remove spyware.
Try Hijack This from http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/ for help with hijackers.
A full updated virus scan would also be a good idea.
