Pay attention to what you download-a lot of times in the download it ask if
you want such and such to be your home page-if you just click yes without
reading you end up with a lot of stuff you don't want.  You have to read
what is in those boxes before you say yes.



Your homepage will not change till you agree and push the yes button.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Hijacked Home Page

 

Almost every day my nice blank home page is hijacked and it seems to be an
indirect that shows up in the address bar and it ends up as Microsoft. I
have always preferred a blank home page to start out with because of my dial
up connection. I resent having someTHING take over my home page without my
permission.

 

Does anyone have knowledge of software that will block this entity from
going into my Registry and changing my home page?

 

I use ZA, AdAware, SpyBot and I just ran Ad Aware and found the culprit
again in my registry and Ad Aware did eliminate it( again). I am weary of
changing this all the time because even though Ad Aware takes it out of the
registry, some entity puts it back almost every day.I have to keep going to
Internet Options and changing it back to BLANK. I cannot seem to find which
site is doing this dreadful thing to me. Thanks. Hulda Robertson
