Answer» Does anyone know how i can return my internet home page to something else? I have already went to internet tools and manually changed it a couple of times. It probably is a virus or something. Any suggestions would be appriciated.READ this *first* - Viruses & SpywareIf you don't have Windows XP with SP2, I would suggest using the Firefox browser instead. It has a pop-up BLOCK and is MUCH safer than all the IE before SP2. You can download it here: http://www.mozilla.orgor try this>http://www.wilderssecurity.net/bhblaster.htmlTmoney......Sounds to me like you have the famous browser hijacker........D/L and run "hijackthis"........You may also wish to D/l and run "CW Shredder" it will identify which hijacker it is.
dl65 if your homepage keeps GOING to something like "about:blank" or ALONG those lines go to internet options and click on the default button. My friend had this same problem and typing in a homepage manually would not fix it, but once he click on the default it fixed the problem.
also try downloading ad-aware se, spybot search and destory -- run these and it should take care of your problems. they are both freeware
also, if you're having problems with popups and you want a freeware popup blocker, try downloading the Google toolbar. It has a pop up block on it that will block about 90-95% of all popups. Usually im against toolbars added to IE because they introduce spyware, popups, etc onto your computer, but SINCE having the Google searchbar I've had on average 1 pop a day and no more unwanted programs being downloaded onto my computer behind my back.
