I have been getting this webpage that keeps coming up as my home page, just says blank and it has all kinds of search on it. I also get these two annoying popups saying that I have spyware on my system and need to d/l......I use adaware and spybot. Have done scans, but this still comes up. When I get a different home page and set it, once ie is shut down, when I restart this same page comes up. Any ideas of what it is or how to get rid of the annoying thing? thanks alot

Hi

Try these programs to check for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Also see the following link:

--Ok a similar problem like this happened on my sisters
computer. Its very hard to help you without being at the
coomputer but I would suggest deleting all temporary
internet files (there may be some kind of bug in them).
-make sure your adaware is UPDATED click the update botton
-after you do this restart also change ur homepage before
you restart
hope this helps.
