I recently noticed that my homepage start page under options in IE 6.0 Can not be changed.I can go and change it but every time I reboot my PC It is the old home page that I have , This is the site (http://%6A%75%63%77%74%6F%2E%74%2E%6D%75%78%61%2E%63%63/%68%2E%70%68%70?%61%69%64=35) and the web page is http://www.searchwwm.com I can't find why or how this happened. I was thinking it must be spyware, and running an updated spybot does finds nothing. And changing the settings in spybot that makes it impossible to change the homepage did not help . can soneone help me on that. Thanks Rob

Try running cwshredder and Adaware as well.
If this doesn't help, then there are details on the web about how to create an XP reg key pair to lock and unlock the homepage (but you are better off deleting the program causing the problem).
