My home page keeps changing to
http://in.webcounter.cc/-/?ydtfs
%20%20about:blank
even though I've gone to Tools>Internet Options: and changed the home page
back to what it was.
Is this a worm, or virus?
I've run the Spybot, but it only reported a few cookies, which I deleted.
Thanks for any help.

Spysweeper has always detected when
my homepage has been changed, right
away you get a dialog box that allows
you to get rid of the hijacker. Just run
it on the taskbar when your computer
is on the net and within a few seconds
it will detect the hijacker and ask what
you want to do with it. Free download
at webroot.com but you have to sub-
scribe for the latest definitions.
