The Beta Spyware goes to default page instead of detail page on threats. The
spyware program did delete a trojan but when I asked for detail it simply
went to the page to download the beta spyware. I also changed my default
browser page from dellnet to northwestern and the beta reports it as a hijack
attempt. How do I tell it that it is ok as I authorized the change?

Thanks,

Leo

I have the same problem. I can not change my internet start up page. I
actually thought I had solved, the problem by turning off the spyware,
changing the url for the home page as per instructions; but every time the
computer is turned off and restarted spyware is turned back on and blocks the
change.
