home page

Is there any way I can lock my home page to what ever I
want. Every time I start up, it is changed.

Holly,

This sounds like a browser hijack problem to me.

Get HijackThis <http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155> and Spybot S&D
<http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download>, both of which are
free and very trusted crapware detectors and removers.
1) Install and run Spybot. First update it ("Search for updates"), then run a
scan ("Check for problems"). Trust Spybot, and make all recommended deletions.
2) Install and run HijackThis. Do NOT make any changes immediately. Save the
Log.
3) Have your HJT log interpreted by experts at one or more of the following
forums (and post it here):

(Any of the above forums may not be available because of an ongoing DoS attack,
so try another as necessary). All of these forums appear to be rather busy
right now, so be patient.

Cheers,

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
