homepage is hijacked
my home page is likewise hijacked. I have used spybot and Ad-aware with no results. I have gone to Ctl Panelinternet optionsinternet propertieshome page and the only button that responds is "use blank." Although the replacement home page looks like
microsoft, there is no address to confirm or deny. The only thing I know is that is permanent and irreplacable. I have tried everything I know of and am at wit's end. If you get any information please forward it. May I thank you in advance. "john s" wrote: my homepage is hijacked I am to the point where I see Glpiiiic.exe ending now everytime I restart.

Archie,
about:blank, if used correctly as a Home Page, is just that; Blank. Not Microsoft, not anywhere, just a white window with about: blank in the Address Bar. In fact some people use about: blank as a Home Page because you can open IE without it trying to go online. First. Make sure of these settings and nothing will install without you answering YES.
