For some reason, my default homepage in Internet options keeps changing when I open IE6. I change teh default everytime but it still changes to a crappy search engine. Can anyone help me with this problems... it's driving mr crazy.

I think you have one of those spyware programs on your
computer. This has happened to me, but I am a hacker...Try
typing start, run, msconfig, click ok, then look at the
tab called Startup. Some spyware programs put little
programs to automatically run when you startup that load
these pesky things. Only uncheck stuff here that you know
shouldn't be loading into your machine. Then save, make
sure that you change the default on IE and then restart
the computer. Good luck.

Go to Google & type in Ad-Aware. You will be able to
download & run this free prog. It should identify
a 'Browser Hijacker' & other nasties. Then remove then.
Run it everyday to be on the safe side.
