Kat - My IE homepage has been hijacked too. Fortunately, it only resets if I turn the computer off, not just the browser. So my preferred homepage is up most of the time. The hijacker is some sorta pay-per-click search engine but I forget the exact name. Anyway, the bastards actually have an FAQ that gives you instructions for what to do if you don't want their page to be your homepage and the regular "Set Homepage" procedure doesn't work. Yeah! Right! I'm gonna follow the instructions that the assholes that put the thing there in the first place provide to remove it. And then I'm gonna click on a couple of spammers "Click here to be removed from our mailing list" buttons. For the increasingly rare times that I use IE, I'll live with it.
