Why is my homepage changing?

I have a problem in which every time I log onto the web,
my hompage changes from what I want to the following
address -- res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776 -- What is the
problem and how can I fix this. Thanks

Sounds like browser hijacking..

I suggest looking into (installing, updating/scanning with) ALL of the
following applications:

Hijack This!
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

CWSShredder
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

LavaSoft AdAware
http://www.lavasoft.de/

Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/

I also like "The Cleaner" and "SpywareBlaster" and "SpywareGuard".
- http://www.moosoft.com/
- http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/

The first is a PAY product, but useable for 30 days - it has found and
eliminated problems in the past the others did not. The latter two are
prevention mechanisms. I like SpywareGuard for those with enough processor
to have something running like antivirus software - and it prevents browser
hijacking quite well.

Good luck in getting rid of it. I think Hijack This! should do it for you,
but that does not mean you should run only that one.. I would suggest at
least installing and running(after updating) AT LEAST Hijack This!, Lavasoft
AdAware and SpyBot Search and Destroy.

Another option you have is using another browser. I like Mozilla Firebird,
personally. Fast and has many features that people wish were in other
browsers..
