dl65  And what PROTECTION software do you have?I've been having similar problems with the new Internet Explorer.  For some reason, on my brother's login, his homepage comes up.  But for mine, it always runs the "http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx" page, even after I assign google as my homepage (I can even click the home icon and google.com will show up).

It doesn't really bother me much anymore, it's just kind of inconvenient...*sigh* internet explorer..................
