A few weeks ago, my home page mysteriously changed to
msn.com. When I tried to change it, I found that the box
to do that is greyed out (although the two underneath for
temp internet files and history are still functional).

Yesterday, a pop-up ad took over as my home page. So, I
used one of those programs to remove spyware, which
worked, I guess. Now I have a blank page as my home
page, but I still can't change it.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I know it's not a
major issue, but it's really annoying.

Thanks for your help!

will not remove the culprit that now exists on your system.
