Home Page Changes

[Lisa]

My home page keeps changing from the one I chose to one
called Home Search. I am able to change it back, but
it's driving my nuts.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi Lisa,

Your home page for Internet Explorer has been hijacked by some sort of
spyware program. The best recommendation would be to download, install and
run an Anti-spyware program. You can download and run Ad-Aware:

Thanks Anando. I was afraid it was something like that.
I have Ad-Aware and have been running it every few days.
I did also download Spybot and have only run that once
(I'm not even sure I used it correctly.) Maybe I'll give
that another try.

Hi,

Remember to update Ad-Aware and Spybot before running them.
