When I clicked on to the internet, I got a new start-up screen. My start-up had been comcast.net. Did a copule of topic searches on help and went through the control panel, but couldn't get info on how to switch my start-up screen.

If you want to keep it from happening again buy & install the Lavasoft AdAware anti popup anti trojan anti tracking product. It works - cleans all of the spyware and keeps the popups from wasting your time. Also notifies you of any attempts to hijack your homepage.

Thanks, guys. Now I just need to figure out why some days my "history" goes blank, and my cache remembers certain URLs, but not others.

You are a comedic genius. Aren't you?

Any insights?

Read before you click!

If you mean those user agreements with the fine print, I ignore them, and refuse to sign on, unless they are for services I absolutely need, from reputable firms. Don't remember signing on to anything at the time, but it could be that a "reputable" firm wasn't very.

I have been trying to delete the Administrators for some time now, to no avail! This must be a lot of fun.

There's a product called "Browser Hijack Blaster".

No way. You are lying, and if you are not, then, you should be!
