I downloaded and ran Spybot. It didn't get rid of that Homepage site but I think it help me on some other stuff. I'll run Ad-Aware later. I did a file search on Trojan and deleted everything with that name. Actually what I REALLY need is a new computer. Any Freeper computer vendors in South Florida here? I'll swing my business your way since I'm in the market for a new 'puter.

Spybot has a cool feature that allows you to lock your home page. Once you get your problem solved give it a try.
Clean out your temporary internet folder of everything except cookies you want to retain. Some web sites slip you hyperagressive java scripting that will hijack your home page like spyware until you get rid of it. Checking the box "always empty temporary internet folder when browser is closed" under the Advanced tab, Internet Options, keeps a lot of that stuff at bay. Saves hard disk space, too.

. I'll run Ad-Aware later....Actually what I REALLY need is a new computer. Ad Aware will pick up a lot of stuff that Spybot doesn't. Go figure.
I just picked up a sweet little deal on eBay. (Micron PIII/866 Mhz...30 Gb drive Windows NT 4.0, LAN card...etc...for only $189) Go look there for a great price on some nice equipment from a number of reputable PC sellers.
