Home Page Problem

I have some sort of virus....!

I want hotmail to come up as my home page, but after 5 or 6 goes at opening IE, it comes up with a page that has just muscled its way in as my home page.

Any suggestions as to stop this from happening - it's more annoying than anything else.

Thank you

Thunder Child,

Malware and some viruses have been known to take over your homepage. Lets do two things to check out your system:
[list=1][*]Run Trend Micro's HouseCall[*]Download, Install and Run LavaSoft's Ad-Aware[/list=1]

Lets see what those two programs find.

Take Care,

Richard
