IE is my browser. "my netscape" is my home page. When I try to "sign in" to netscape I am redirected to netscape.com. This does NOT happen when I use my back up browser (netscape). Go figure. I use and have run windows spyware, high jack, spybot, and run norton AV all the time.

Well, my first suggestion is to not use IE.

one of my earlier posts is related to a spyware process running on my PC that was undected by any AV app or spyware program. I had to use security task manager and kill the processes (two processes called IEXPLORER.EXE and one rundll.exe) and quarantine them. I then had to remove internet explorer from the computer which is not very easy. Then i had to reinstall IE from scratch from microsoft website.

try the "security task manager" and see if there are any weird processes being displayed.
