I had not kept up with security downloads or virus since
I was out of town all summer. So first off I had a
welchia worm. Figured that out [i think] Then today pop
ups all over the place. downloaded a popup protector
updated windows and norton scanned everything I could.
When I try to go to explored the homepage is not right.
On the blacklist [from the pop up blocker] it
says "default-homepage-network.com [no path]

I also tried to do a system restore to no avail

any help or direction appreciated
 
You may have been hijacked. Google for HiJack This! and run it. Meanwhile,
run another virus scan after making sure you have the latest updates from
Norton. Download and run AdAware and Pest Patrol. I downloaded and use the
Google Toolbar as a secondary popup blocker. I use Zone Alarm Pro for my
firewall and primary popup blocker. If you don't have a firewall, you can
download the free version of Zone Alarm, it's very good. You mention that
you tried a system restore. Was this a format and reinstall of XP or just a
restore from a propritetary disk?
