I have had something take over my home page setting. No matter what I do, the home page gets set to ‘c:searchpage.html’
Also, my computer seems to run slower than normal.
Any ideas?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

Hi Lonnie
Regarding Tony’s suggestion……..look specifically for information on “Hijacking”.
Adaware and/or Spybot S&D may solve your problem but your browser has been hijacked.
HijackThis takes a little more effort to follow through with but if the other two don’t fix your problem, it should work……be sure to follow the instructions re posting the log for assistance unless you are very sure you know what you’re doing.
Have a Great day!!!
Ken
