Comment:

this may be a stupid question, but I dont know much about computers. when I try to go to a site, xupiter comes up instead (I dont even know what xupiter is supposed to be!) by the way I lost iexplore.exe (what ever that is) but I need it to use my browser. I have tried everything such as downloading internet explorer 6, repiar, redoing 98, and other crap that probably messed up my comp even worse. is it a virus or is it my fault? I know that was a mouth full but I need some help...anyone got any ideas?

Ditto, I have the EXCACT same issue. I have changed the XJ homepage setting goto site you want as homepage, (at toolbar: TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>CURRENT and the XJ URL in the dialog box should change to the current page you are on.

But, since then, my IE does not lload urls.

Run AdAware or SpyBot to find and rid yourself of the pest.

xupiter is a hot topic.Spybot targets it.There is a new version of Spybot out(1.1).You can download at net-integration,lurkhere,spywareinfo.com, wilders.org.If you want the simplest method of installing,try the exe. download as opposed to the zip-file.Hope this helps you.JB
