when logging onto internet explorer, my browser always loads up on search-space.com i've changed my home page but it always goes back to this page.someone has had the same problem on the windows9x forum.if anyone can point me in the right direction of a fix i'd be gratefull.i'm not an expert so any help would be much appreciated.
I'd download Spybot Search and Destroy, or Adaware (do a Google search - or better still use your invading search engine to find it's own demise! Poetic justice!) It should clear it up. Even if it doesn't sort that out, you'll be surprised how much adware and spyware crap you've probably picked up! Hope this helps.

Yep - another browser homepage hijack.
When you've cleaned it up with Spybot S&D and Adaware then download/install Browser Hijack Blaster and have it running whenever you are on the Internet. You will be notified of any attempt to change your browser settings.
Spybot S&D and Adaware should be part of your regular maintenance schedule.
