Wierd Problem...I think

[Guest]

I have dial-up connection so that may be part of the problem, but when a webpage takes too long to load, IE takes it upon itself to cancel the request for the site specified and opens up a website called PerfectNav.com. Also, I set my homepage to MSN.com but it seems everytime the computer is rebooted, the PerfectNav.com website is defaulted as my homepage..it's getting rather annoying. Any help would be appreciated.

I had same problem - but with redirection to another site.
Spysweeper, Spybot and Adaware runs got rid of the problem....whatever it
was!!
