I had my homepage taken over by www.locators.com without even visiting
those guys. All the more annoying that they changed the menus to my IE
and would make it crash anytime I would open IE.

Great stuff that I have found the resetBrowser.reg on this newsgroup
that fixed it.

Does Microsoft do anything against those services that take over your
page and p*ss everybody off. I wasted about 3 Hrs trying to solve this!
