Home Page keeps changing

[Andy]

Every time I log on to the internet, my home page has
somehow been changed, usually to a low-grade search
engine called "Global Search".

Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening?

I don't even know why this is LEGAL -- Microsoft SHOULD
be preventing this from happening!

You need to run SpyBot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware, Pest Patrol, HiJack
This and/or a good anti-virus application. You've been hijacked. Microsoft
has nothing to do with your problem.

"don't even know why this is LEGAL"
you ever see commercials on tv or radio?
billboards or signs on side of road?
products in movies?
are those legal?
