Got a bug, need help.....

[rball]

Hello all,

I must have gotten a bug somewhere, somehow. My home page changed (each time
I change it back and restart the computer it keeps going back to the wrong
home page. I also get a few (unwanted!!!) sites added to my internet
favorites. I delete them, but again...each time I restart my computer they
are back.

What can I do to get rid of this bug???

Thanks in advance.!!!!!!!!!

Download, install and run a program called AdAware 6.0 (from Lavasoft).
Just remember to update the reference file before scanning the system.
Another good spyware remover is called Spybot S&D. Both programs are free.

The bug is called Spyware

First run a virus scan.

Second, download, install and run the following:
Ad Aware: www.lavasoftusa.com

Check the following site, click the "H" at the top of the page and scroll to
"Home Page Hijacking." Note, you may have to maximize the window in order

what is the anti-virus software you were using...???

Sounds like spyware or a home page hijacker.

Run these tools weekly
spybot -- http://www.safer-networking.org/
ad-aware -- http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Bary, Jack, Milton;

Are you all there? Update YOUR anti-virus software.

with a proper troll.
