Hey, I visit the same sites everyday at work, I dont stray. Creature of habit I guess you could say. But I have a problem, my homepage has been set to www.findthewebsiteyouneed.com and I cant change it. The homepage option has been \"greyed out\". I know this has happened before, and I forget how I fixed it. Anyone know how to? Id also love to find and e mail address for these assholes that run that site that forced its way onto my home page. Can anyone help me with my problem?

If you take the path prescribed here, however, you <i>will</i> have to edit your system's registry. If you are unsure of how to do that, or unwilling to do so, the next option would be uninstall Internet Explorer (go to Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel, then select Windows Components), and then reinstall a clean version.

And before you do any of this, run an antivirus program and/or <a href=http://www.safer-networking.org/ target=new>SpyBot</a>, to check for any Trojan viruses, which are usually the cause for this sort of thing.
