After you are up and running again, and you have have installed SpyBot, go into the tools settings and lock your home page.
Hi, Lulu, This problem is caused
by a hijacker and there are several options that
can resolve the problem. My personal recommendation
is spysweeper by webroot. There is a free version
of it that detects spyware, hijackers, etc., deletes or
quarantines them PLUS it has a homepage shield that
protects your homepage settings. In addition, it has
a cookie shield to catch and remove bad cookies as you surf.
This, along with Spybot, Search and Destroy, Adaware 6, and Hijack This are the best for me. And, they're
all free. I hope this info. helps. Becca73:o)
