Due to one of the kid's wanderings, www.0websearch.com
was saved as our home page. I've changed it numerous
times, but 0websearch keeps overriding the page that I've
chosen. It'll work for a bit, and then defaults to
0websearch. Any ideas as to how to block this page?

Thanks for the help! The CWShredder seems to have done
the trick. They also have suggestions for keeping the
buggers out on their page, too...
Thanks again.
