home Page Settings

[Alan Bannister]

Hello
Was wondering if anyone can help me.....
Teenage Son while Surfing Internet has obviously visted a
Sex Site.....And unknown to him the site has made it's
self the Home Page on Internet Explorer.....
It allows me to change it to another Site as home page
and while computer is left on it works perfect,you can
close down IE and re-open and still have usual Home Page
i have changed it to....
Problem comes if you shut down Computer and turn it back
on again....the Sex Site home Page Appears again....
How can i remove this from Computer?
Any Suggestions will be gratefully accepted....
Thank you
Alan

There may be slicker fix for your malware, but this may do the trick:

Hi Alan,

It means the program is loading at boot, this is when it changes the home
page. Have you tried checking Add & Remove for something to install?

At the worst, start/run msinfo32, expand the software environment and click
on the staratup programs. Locate the line referring to the program. See
where it is loading from, this is where you need to go to disable it.
