Home Page Changing

[Kris]

Also wondering if anyone can tell me how to Stop my Home
page from changing by itself???
Generaly I use msn.com, but now when I log on I have a
completely new home page and have to change it back (this
is usually 8 out of 10 times that I log online)
Any ideas??

Sounds like you may have accidentally downloaded a "Homepage Hijacker" - a kind
of adware/spyware. Try using a utility like Ad Aware 6 (free) to identify and
remove it (along with lots of other unnecessary rubbish), then resetting your
home page.
Ad Aware is widely available and is made by Lavasoft.

& get yourself "StartPage Guard" to stop it happening again.
