Browser Homepage Hijack - Help.

For both IE and Firefox, opening up the browser, my homepage gets redirected.

to websheart.com and linkshelper.com

it's not the homepage though, when I change it, it works.

only my store website get redirected, which is www.veryfinebooks.com

I'm running Windows XP... f'ing Microsoft! can't they fix this schit already???

thanks in advance.

Run either AdAware or Spysweeper. You have had the settings changed by something you downloaded or clicked on.

Go to tools, options then redirect your home page to where you want it.

Thanks Joe.

Hopefully one of these days I will be on Linux.

Nothing like a good .nix OS. The new Linux distributions are so easy to install. Keeping up on updates and dependencies of libraries can be a bit of work though.

Unless you opt for a mature time tested .nix OS like Berkely Unix.

There is an OS out there built on it that even negates all of the security issues associated with the MSFT products.

One hardware manufacturer even ships their boxes with it installed and configured to run out of the box. Comes with just about all the software you'd need to do anything. Even updates the OS regularly so you don't need to worry about packge depencies.

Check it out.

Scott
