Please help Quadrider, Try this If you have Zone alarm as your firewall uninstall it and then change your home page . Then reinstall Zone alarm . The new version of ZA causes this to happen.

My Home page was hijacked during a session with Verizon when all security
measures were turned off. I have tried System Restore but it didn't work. How do I get back control. In non-techy language please. BTW Windows Defender says my computer is running normally. -- Tony "Ibrahim" wrote: Hello all My Homepage has been hijacked actually I don't know how this happened, I've just finished formating my PC the homepage now is http://www.freewebs.com/archbase/index.htm I cannot change it, everytime i restart my PC it goes back to this address.

That one didn't work! Now what do you mean by "Also my home page?"
By the way "Reset Web Settings" only reset the page to the one that is the intruder. -- Tony "Frankster" wrote: You might try...

You should tic the box that says "Also reset my home page". If you didn't do that it would never work. -Frank

For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose default install is loaded with malware.
