For the past two weeks or so, several times when we've shut down our browser (IE5.something,) it comes back up, the next time, having reset itself to this as a homepage: http://globe-finder.com/. Neither of us has manually changed it. I always reset it to google, through File>Tools>Internet Options>Apply>Okay and that works for a bit, then voila! it gets reset to the above.

I have AdAware and run it frequently and also have Proximotron (thanks BillD!. I am sure this is some kind of obnoxious spyware, but how is it doing this and how do I stop it? I am sure it came about, the first time, from some site Rog was at because it started after he was online one evening. I am wondering if it was one of the about.com sites as when I go into Internet Options to change it, the "current" homepage addy does not show up as I've linked, even though that is the page which comes up. The addy just says "about blank."

Thanks, folks!
