Annoying internet bug
http://find4u.net/index.htm
:Warning: Don't click that link!!! Whenever I go online, the above page loads instead of yahoo.com. I'm using IE 6. I go into Tool>Internet options> and then I reset my homepage to yahoo.com, but when I boot up my computer the next time, my homepage has been reset to that stupid page up above! I've run Spybot S&D fully updated several times, but the problem persists. I've even gone and deleted any folder I don't recognize from my hard drive. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? :confused

Almost got it right, Tools>Reset Web Settings, Then go to Yahoo.com, finally Go Tools>Internet Options Click Use Current and click Apply. Should do it.

It is not a virus and it is not listed in the spyware database, I just googled it and went to the site and it did not change anything on my computer.

Like Morris said, I went to it also and it didn't change my settings either. If you have virus protection on your PC then it probably isn't a virus. Try scanning your system with your antivirus protection program. Also, I noticed that you only mentioned spybot s&D. Do you have adaware? If not go to their website and download it. Run it and see what you get. You can find Adaware using any search engine. thorlo6

Thanks for all the replies. I updated and ran Norton Antivirus and found nothing. I've followed the posted links, and when I get more time I'll follow the suggestions on those sites. If all else fails, I'll switch to Mozilla! Thanks again!
