It's part of our plan for Global Domination, Terry.

But seriously, haven't a clue, unless it doesn't like your home page being changed from MSN.

umm no idea!! we dont have any software on here that could do that. after a quick check nothing is odd with our server. microsoft f*ck up? I think so. is your homepage set to the forum. it could be reading htat wrong.. plus we have cookies but thats about it. weird.

solution: turn off that stupid microsoft scanner and use a better one.

better solution: FDISK your HD, install SUSE.

ultimate solution: bomb microsoft headquaters.. muhahahahha

Hi, Hook.

My guess is that you have either SpywareBlaster or Spybot S&D on your system. Because I never use Internet Explorer (except for when I'm feeling suicidal, couldn't give a sh1t about anything, and so I go and get some Microshaft updates) I usually have them on a PC before I actually go onto the internet. They "lock" my IE homepage. There must be an easy setting to unlock IE, but because I hardly ever use it I don't bother.

I only use the IE6 browser for one site, purely because it is only configured to operate using IE. Hence I have set that site as IE homepage, so when I run "Hijack This" it shows up as a "nasty" on the log checking site.

ignore it in other words.

I've just installed and ran it twice. Once with PC-PALS as home page, and the other not. It took with me less than three minutes to scan all.

No ! It didn't give me the same result as you terry. That's strange though !!!

Try to run it again, you may get a different coclusion. 8)

( Or, maybe Sam inactivated the spying software as soon as he saw your post. :wink: ) (Just kidding)
