I am having a very difficult time trying to figure out why
my homepage keeps automatically changing and how I can
stop it. Once a day it swithches to Cool Web Search.
Everytime I change it back to my own preference. It is
also becoming more frequent. How can I stop this? It is
very annoying. Thanks for any help.

These days most of us are recommending HijackThis to identify and assist in
the removal of these bad guys. Post your files to the forum mentioned on
the first URL above.

If you cannot access the page to download HijackThis, use this link:

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on do both once-a-day.
