home page setting?

[faqby]

somehow, there is a bug in my system that whenever I
restart my computer and load IE it goes to a default home
page that is not what I want. Even though i am selecting
and applying a different home page under tools, internet
options... How I do I keep the home page I wish and
eliminate this annoyance of going to some hackers webpage?

The problem may be due to a spyware.

Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate
the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **
