Hi, my homepage keeps resetting itself whenever I restart my computer. I've tried clearing cookies and cache, but it still happens. Any ideas why?

It could be 'malware' Try SpyBot S&D and Adaware. Also, and perhaps more usefull, download a 'BHO remover' or 'BHO disabler'. It may be that something was installed onto your browser telling it to always use that URL for Home. Lastly, go to 'run' then type 'msconfig' (without quotes) in the first tab on the right you'll see a list of things that start with windows- if you see something that you are certain sounds very strange, just unclick its box and it should not restart again (assuming that you did a virus scan and there are no executable progs reloading it at every boot)
All the best, Larry Perlman

download Spybot search and destroy, ad-aware, and also spy cleaner. theres a good chance that those three programs will fix the problem!
