You are correct. My internet explorer browser somehow got
infested by a home page hi-jacker while downloading the
window updates. Adware 6 and Pest Patrol didn't detect the
problem. I had to download the Spy-Bot Search software and
it found the problem. It was an registry change and I used
regedit to remove the infesting registry file in IE start
page. Thanks for the message.
