Page 1 of HOME PAGE KEEPS CHANGING???

Hi, can anyone help pklease ive just joined tiscali broadband ido not think this hsa anything to do with the problem if i go to internet options page it displays use blank i have tried typing in my home page address and pressing apply,when i cme back it has changed to use blank or the last page i looked at any ideas please maybe it is just some button i need to action to stop this happening,peter.

sorry for stating the obvious, but when you put you`re homepage in are you pressing the APPLY botton ?

If you have pressed apply, it sounds like a browser hijack.

hi yes i press apply and it still changes,what is browser ihjack and can i cure it peter.

do a google search for spybot search and destroy, also addaware, and make sure you`re anti-virus/firewall are up to date, if you need a good FREE anti-virus, visit www.grisoft.com and for free firewall try www.zonelabs.com if you get stuck i`ll dig out all the relevent links etc.

hope this helps.

EDIT= spybot, http://www.safer-networking.org/
addaware, http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

hi,
thanks for your help everytime i try to download spybot it takes me to the same page i dont want,so iam going to start again and re-install windows and this should eliminate the problem,even after deleting all the crap on the bottom of my favourites page it returns and again alters my home page address in internet options i have updated anti virus guard but one virus remains after deleteing a few, thanks for your help peter.

i`ll email you a copy of spybot if you want, may save you re-formating ?

Try Spyware guard from here it`s freeware and it will give you details of any browser hijack attempts and ask if you want to restore the home page settings or keep the new settings.
