Hello Lynn,

You don't indicate what program, if any, you're using to remove spyware and
adware. If you don't use the following two programs I suggest you get and
use them on a regular basis. Always check for updates prior to using them.

SpyBot Search & Destroy
http://tinyurl.com/btf8

Ad-aware
http://www.lavasoft.de/

Those two will identify and remove the 'bad guys'. To protect you from
getting them in the first place I suggest these two:

SpywareGuard
http://wilderssecurity.net/spywareguard.html

SpywareBlaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

If, after all of the above, your homepage is still being hijacked you may
have a variant of the browser hijacker known as CoolWebSearch (CWS). This is
a nasty one and there are so many it's very hard to remove. For more
information and a fix check the following:

Lately I'm having a devil of a time keeping my home page from being changed
to either Amazon or Page2start.com (I think that's what it's called). I'm
slowly removing spyware and adware from my computer. I'm trying to always go
to my home page before exiting the internet then going to file-->exit. It
works for a while then I'm back to having it hijacked. Any ideas?

IE 6 using Road Runner

Thanks,
